Off The Fence

Project Gateway is a service for women experiencing periods of difficulty, abuse, isolation and mental health issues. The project offers services that include a warm and caring drop in centre where women can talk confidentially to trained staff, they can come and learn new skills in various workshops and also receive both practical and emotional support.

We Aim to:

• Offer a safe environment
• Offer emotional support
• Listen and not judge
• Enable change
• Be client led, without an agenda
• Provide relevant support for each client

At Project Gateway we Provide:

A Drop in centre: Women can drop in for a chat and a cup of coffee, get advice and information about our other services.

Workshops: We are currently running regular craft and mosaic workshops, a basic computer skills, including ‘using the internet’  and a creative sewing group will be starting soon.

Support: We run a support service that includes befriending which is designed to help women who may be going through a time of crisis.  We have women that are trained to care, who will listen and will support them.

Other serivces: We can offer a manicure or an head massage by a trained therapist, (by appointment only) and are hoping to expand this soon to include some other similar relaxing treats that can make a woman feel special
