Homelessness around the World

Here is a rather moving photographic survey of homelessness around the world: we thought you'd like to take a look.

On behalf of eveyone at the Gatehouse and the Moving Home appeal, thank you for your tremendous support htis year, and we look forward to continuing in 2012, right up to the move itself. 

With best wishes from all of us for Christmas.

Report on our Christmas Party

An update on the Pindrop Christmas Party (with Stornoway and the Epstein)

 

On Saturday night we had an absolutely wonderful event with a lovely atmosphere and loads of credit given to the Gatehouse - including a round of applause for our work! We were much helped by some warm words from Andy (one of our ex-homeless guests at the Gatehouse) who was kind enough to say "we are the friendliest people in the world". 

 

Thanks to the team - including Jackie & Peter, Malcolm, Andrew, Bruce and Andy. We had two return trips to Tesco to get extra wine for mulling!

 

The bands are hoping that it may be possible to download a recording of the music (for a small donation to the Gatehouse Moving Home appeal of course!). Let us know if you're interested via the comments.
