The 10 Year Blog - Launching 20th April

City Gateway is delighted to announce the forthcoming launch of its '10 Year Blog' which will officially begin on the 20th April 2009 with new posts added, from a real variety of commentators, every week for three months.
In 2009 City Gateway is celebrating its 10th anniversary, having been set up to use resources in the City to bring hope to Tower Hamlets back in 1999. As well as being a time of looking back and celebrating the changes and stories we've helped make it's also a time to look ahead and plan how we can have an even bigger impact over the next 10 years.
We'll be asking staff members, former service users, partner organisations, local businesses, politicians, public figures, other charities and members of the public to input into a range of relevant questions.
We'll be asking how partnerships & corporate social responsibility can bridge gaps in the community, how volunteering is impacting individuals' lives & businesses, what the real issues affecting East London are, if the third sector can evolve to meet new needs, how the 2012 Olympics can build a lasting legacy, whether social enterprises do offer the answers some hope they do and ultimately what we should be aiming to achieve in the next 10 years?
The blog will also be a chance to look back on the past 10 years and some of the great successes we've had over that time as well as marking the anniversary year which began with our 10th Anniversary Celebration in the East Wintergarden on March 10th. Looking ahead over the next 12 months we'll be looking to celebrate the great things about Tower Hamlets with local residents, entering 50 runners into the British 10k run, challenging individuals to give up just 10 hours of their life to make a real difference to their community and looking at 10 case studies of lives we've already helped change.
These big questions needing big answers... If you'd be interested in writing a post, either for your organisation or from a personal perspective, then please get in touch - e-mail jerry@citygateway.org.uk with a brief introduction and an article of up to 300 words and we'll try and feature your contribution.
