Gateway Women’s Centre

Support for women, by women.

Gateway is dedicated to empowering women facing crisis, emotional hardship, or practical difficulties, while equipping them to navigate life’s challenges confidently.

 

1-to-1 support 

We offer one-to-one emotional, practical and spiritual support – in person, by phone, text, email or online via Zoom.

Essentials Hub

For women facing particular practical needs, we have a small food, toiletries, cleaning supplies and clothing hub.

Practical guidance and advice

We provide a wide range of advice and information, such as support with paperwork, IT support, referrals and signposting to other specialist services.

 

Workshops and courses

Our workshops provide opportunities for women to try new skills, build confidence and improve wellbeing. Sessions can explore a range of themes healthy eating on a budget, financial literacy, employability and healthy relationships.

Faith-based support

Gateway is open to women of all faiths and none, without precondition or discrimination. We respect the beliefs, values, and choices of every woman we serve, and spiritual support is offered sensitively and only when invited and appropriate to a woman's expressed needs.

Testimonials

  • "I felt so happy and excited every week. I felt enthusiasm for something again and I have absolutely loved it and it has given me a sense of wanting more."

  • "I try to be strong on the outside but inside I'm weak and soft. I really don't know what I'd do without the staff.”

  • “It was an enjoyable experience to be with others and to have help when needed."

  • “Explore the Bible has really got me interested to learn about the Bible and to know who our Father is and what life he would like us to live... and knowing that he is always there for us no matter what.”
