An open door for Oxford's homeless community
It's time to move on. The Northgate Hall has served us well for the past 20 years, but our landlord has other plans for it. In 2011 St Giles Church welcomed us back to the room where we first started, alongside well-established community groups and casual hirers of the hall. We have negotiated an agreement which will provide us with a secure future for the next 15 years and a say in the renovations and adaptations that are needed.
We actually moved in by 14th February 2012, see Breaking News for more details.
This means ...
Moving Home
For news, photos and updates on the Moving Home appeal, see http://www.gatehousemovinghome.blogspot.com/
You can support our appeal by making a donation to
Sandwich Steve - the Moving Home hero.
For the first time we will have disabled access AND a decent office AND
a modern kitchen
We thought we were going to be homeless but it feels like we've come home - with your help!
The move involved us in extra costs: much of the equipment we were using was in need of replacement, and the building we are moving into has needed adaptation and refurbishment. The AGM in 2011 saw the launch of a charitable appeal to see us into the new era - the target for the Appeal is £175,000.
But thanks to the efforts of so many individuals and the generosity of people, organisations and trusts we have raised that money (just about). It's been hard work but also great fun and we've enjoyed so many splendid occasions together. THANK YOU
