Wolverhampton Gateway is affiliated to Wolverhampton Mencap and is a club for adults with learning difficulties. They cater for adults of all ages and have members in their teenage years as well as several members who are senior citizens. They hold their activities at the Beckminster Church as it is accommodating and welcoming. They all value their help and friendship and look forward to Friday evenings at Beckminster.
Gateway aims to provide friendship and support for all people with learning difficulties. Members socialise; play pool, table tennis, darts and Wii games; run a tuck shop; engage in literacy and numeracy challenges; listen to music; engage in craft activities; take part in karaoke and play bingo.
Gateway organises a number of trips and events for members including visits to theme parks; to places of interests such as the Space Centre; to the theatre and for meals in pub restaurants.
