Gateway Into Life
Bringing Hope - Providing a Home - Encouraging New Life
About
Gateway into Life is a Christian Charity that provides supported accommodation to vulnerable adults
We also aim to offer additional support that is not connected to accommodation. This includes training and advice for those
moving on from homelessness, addiction, offending and unemployment
We operate a franchise in partnership with Hope into Action UK under the name Hope into Action Northumberland and this provides the supported housing element of our provision.
Setting people free and providing a gateway to a future
