Breaking News

The Moving Home Appeal has reached 95% of its target, with £166,000 of the £175,000 now raised. Many thanks to all who are working hard on fund-raising and to all who have made donations.

AND THE MOVE IS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN VERY SOON!

Our last night "open for business" in St Michael's Street will be Wednesday 8th February, and we will re-open in St Giles' Parish Rooms on Tuesday 14th February. Further information, such as details for access for delivering Food Groups, will be made available as soon as possible. In the meantime, many thanks to all those working behind the scenes to sort out the logistics of the actual move (which naturally involves quite a lot of clearing up in the Northgate Hall).
Also please note that once we have moved we will be open on Sundays 3pm to 5pm as now, and then on Monday to Friday, 5pm - 7pm but we will not be open on a Saturday evening.

Homelessness Sunday, 29th January 2012

There will be a special Homelessness Evensong at St Giles' Church, Oxford at 6.30pm on 29th January. Any Gatehouse supporters would be very welcome, especially given the strengthening ties between Gatehouse and St Giles.

Thank you to everyone who contributed gifts for the Christmas parcels for all our guests. The elves were very busy making up the parcels on the Wednesday before Christmas, but still had time to welcome the Oxford Mail reporter who came to see what it was all about.
