ETxWclusiv Services
As part of what we do , we encourage and enable our young people and families to develop their own groups , we support them with the tools to do this and the encouragement and signposting when needed This encourages groups to be able to specialise in certain areas of work and helps to make things more sustainable because of the mutual support. We found during the pandemic that one organisation could not cover all the needs of young people and families affected by a disability or barrier to learning but by supporting each other during and after lockdown it meant that it was possible to adapt and continue what was on offer , some of the groups have their own legal structure and others are still working towards it . If one part of Gateway is struggling or needs to close for any period of time, families are not going to be without support.
