Gateway into the Community

01434 607653

We aim to support people with learning disabilities to enjoy themselves and get more out of life.

Gateway into the Community supports people of all ages with a learning disability to access learning, leisure and social opportunities within their own communities. We are the only organisation in rural west Northumberland which provides all these opportunities.We run social groups, courses and activities, as well as signposting people to opportunities in the local area. We also provide a Personal Community Support Service, which provides individually designed support.

Pam mae ar y gymuned ein hangen ni

People with learning disabilities easily become socially isolated and discouraged unless they find a network of friends and contacts. Through Gateway into the Community members are able to meet new friends in a supportive and safe environment. We are also a registered ASDAN centre which allows us to provide educational opportunities for our members which can help to build self- esteem as well as lead to employment.

Ein heffaith ar y gymuned

People with learning disabilities in West Northumberland will be more self-reliant and will make life choices with more confidence. This is done through the social, leisure and learning opportunities that our members are able to access through Gateway into the Community. This will also affect their self-confidence which may enable them to find employment or a volunteering opportunity.
