Our Gateway Women’s Centre is a trauma-informed safe space where our support team offer confidential, one-to-one emotional, practical, and spiritual support. Through drop-ins, an essentials bank, and referrals, we equip women to confidently navigate life’s challenges.

Our goal-based workshops and wellness sessions provide opportunities for personal development while creating moments of joy and belonging. By breaking cycles of isolation, restoring self-agency, and connecting women to strong support networks,

Gateway empowers women to rebuild their lives. Whether through restorative care, discipleship sessions, or access to external services, women supported can step into a future of stability, community, and hope.

As a Christian organisation we seek to live and work by our values:

· Christ-like: we desire the best for others (Col 1:27, 1 John 3:16)

· Excellence: we aim for outstanding quality (1 Cor 12:31, Phil 4:8)

· Unity: we achieve more together (Ps 133, Eph 4:3)
