How To Help

The Gatehouse is a charity highly dependent on good will, energy and funding from a wide range of people and organisations. If you are keen to be a part of the The Gatehouse, come along and help out at an evening session. You could even give a hand with the inevitable admin. If you don't fancy working in the cafe itself, we would still appreciate your support: money, clothes and prayers... all of which are essential to the daily running of the project, and without which we could not open.

Becoming a Volunteer - helping at sessions or in one of the many other tasks needed to keep the project running
Providing Food - as a group providing sandwiches and cakes, making soup during the winter, or offering other suitable food
Donating money or goods - we are always grateful for financial support and you'd be surprised at all the other things we can recycle
Shopping Online - use The Giving Machine to access all your favourite online shopping sites and the retailer makes a donation to us at no extra cost to you
Fundraising or Getting Sponsorship - click on the links for more information. And get ideas by seeing the great things others have done, see Thank You
Sponsoring or Supporting others who are giving time, skills and enthusiasm to raise funds for us.
Promoting Awareness - making sure that everyone knows about the work of the Gatehouse and how it benefits our local homeless community
Supporting The Food Bank - to ensure good food which would otherwise be disposed of as waste can go instead to people who need it
What we chiefly need - all the things we use
