The Gateland 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. Here at the gateland 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 encouraging more young people and creating greater opportunities for staff and volunteers.

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

We work in three key areas in development & support 

-    Personal Development

-    Offender Management

-    Supported Living

Our client group is predominantly young males between the age of sixteen to twenty-two who have been before the courts and are deemed to be at risk, 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 for : re-training, rehabilitating & re-educating.                                                                        

Whilst it is recognise 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 we provide some of those services through our three step pathway programme (Changing Directions,2).

"Changing directions,2 is made up of three modules"

These have been specifically designed to bring together and address key elements for social and personal growth. 

Modules 1.   Personal  Development :  My action plan, Important people to me, training, education & employment

Modules 2.   Offender  Management :  This modules looks at what life would be like without offending the police and how to deal with temptation.

Modules 3.   Supported  living :  This is the gateland flagship module  / programme which has been put together with some input from former care leavers and has a special place for the founder.

We deliver all our programme with a modern twist and a hint of fun.
