Emergency contact details

Everyone will need to fill in a emergency contact form. If you need a paper version, please ask. Newsletter Contact List

We will be adding everyone to our email newsletter list so we can quickly and easily get in touch if there are any problems or if we have to shut. You can of course opt out of email contact but you may not be notified if we have to close suddenly. Personal Care and Extra Support

Please note we do not offer any one-to-one or personal support. If you need extra support please bring a carer with you. Entrance Price

All activities and drinks are included in the daily fee for members and any carers. If we have something that will cost extra, such as a trip or a party, we will let you know in advance. Booking In Advance

We still need to make sure that we have enough staff here and are not too crowded so if you want to come during the week you must book a regular place. If you book a regular place and do not come, then you will still have to pay for the place. You can now attend either one or two days if we have places available. Saturdays are drop in - no need to book. You can just turn up and pay on the day. Social Evenings

We will try to run regular social events throughout the year as we know people love to go out and do things with friends. We will keep costs as low as possible but we need to cover staffing costs. At times we may charge a bit more for events than it would cost to go on your own because of this. Social events are optional. If you have any questions or comments please speak to Anna or email [email protected]

It's National Picnic Week 🧺🌳🌸

A picnic is a wonderful way to enjoy your local park, especially at this time of year 🌞

Over the coming weeks, our cafes are celebrating eating outdoors with picnic boxes you can take away and enjoy in the park.

Pick up yours from one of our charity's community cafes and spend some time relaxing in the fresh air, taking in the nature around you.

Yesterday Anna, our manager, and Julie, our chair, escorted 3 members, Ellie, Kelly and Alex to London to celebrate Mencap's 80th birthday with afternoon tea at Parliament.

We took the train, had a walk along The Thames, visited Westminister Abbey and met with other Gateway groups, Mencap staff and volunteers, MPs etc.

Thankyou Mencap for the invite - we had a lovely day and it was a wonderful opportunity for our members.

Happy birthday Mencap - we are proud to be part of the network and keep up the great work ❀️

πŸ’™ Remembering our wonderful volunteer Rachel on what would have been her birthday πŸ’™
Today, we are remembering Rachel with love.

Many of you may have already heard the very sad news β€” our amazing volunteer and dear friend, Rachel, has passed away. πŸ˜”πŸ’”

Rachel spent many years leading our arts and crafts sessions and brought so much joy to everyone she met. We will miss her smiling face, her kindness, and her endless creativity more than words can say.

Rachel leaves behind a very special legacy. She never missed a Gateway birthday, and in her honour, we will do our very best to keep this beautiful tradition going. 🧁
We know that news like this can feel overwhelming, bringing sadness or shock, and that’s completely okay. If you would like to talk about Rachel or just need a chat, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of staff β€” we are always here to listen and support you.

✨ Remembering Rachel together ✨

We’d love for everyone to help celebrate the happy memories we shared with her:
β€’ A memory table will be set up in the back room this week
β€’ We are creating a special scrapbook for Rachel, and everyone is welcome to contribute
You can add a favourite photo, write a message, or create a drawing. Once it’s complete, the scrapbook will be given to Rachel’s sons, Sean and Matthew, as a heartfelt gift.
Thank you, Rachel, for everything you brought to our Gateway community.
Happy heavenly birthday β€” we will always remember you. πŸ’« 🀍 πŸ•Š 🐼
