Working today to make a difference for tomorrow  

We work in partnership with both the private sector and the local authorities 

Where we all share a common interest in developing and supporting a particular group of young people, we offer an alternative way of life through our pathway programme (Changing Directions 2).     

Here you'll get an insight into the work we are currently undertaking and how we see the next phase operating where we can encourage more young people and create greater opportunities for staff and volunteers.   

Working in three key areas in development & support

  -  Personal Development

 -  Offender Management

 -   Supported Living

We work with those who are struggling to see a better future for themselves on the right side of the law. We help break that recurring cycle, those finding it difficult to deal with and make sense of their present situation. 

Our client group is predominantly male between the ages of sixteen to twenty-two
Who have been before the courts and are deemed to be in need of a particular support package or a place of safety
Working with the three big R's. 

Which are the fundamental building blocks at the heart of The Gateland where the foundations have  been laid : 

 -  Re-training

 -  Rehabilitating 

-  Re-educating

Whilst it is recognised that each local authority will provide the necessary care for it's service users, inevitably there will always be individual cases / areas of training and support that are uneconomical for the authority to deliver. Here at The Gateland we can  provide some of those services through our pathway programme changing directions 2. 

It's time to change direction, at The Gateland we make that change make sense
