MP Sees Barclays’ Volunteers Paint The Town Orange
Local MP Jim Fitzpatrick will this week visit City Gateway’s Limehouse Youth Centre in Tower Hamlets. 18 volunteers from Barclays Commercial Bank will be taking over the centre for the day in a decoration project which sees them brightening up the reception areas, opening up a new studio space and clearing up an outside area.

James Linforth, Partner at international law firm Denton Wilde Sapte LLP, reflects on the voluntary work his team does and how, in particular, their partnership with City Gateway is impacting the local community.

Head on down to Waitrose at Canary Wharf throughout April and you'll find City Gateway Women's Project has been picked as one of their charities of the month - they pick 3 each month and hand out £1000 to one of them dependent on how customers vote.

So what are you Waitrosing for? Head on down and pop a green token in the right slot!

ITS been 10 years since City Gateway started putting down roots in Tower Hamlets.

And the charity celebrated its first decade with a showcase event in Canary Wharf last Tuesday.

City Gateway was set up by local business people to help develop skills among disadvantaged residents of the borough.

Its annual showcase featured an appearance from secretary of state for media, culture and sport Andy Burnham, financial secretary to the Treasury Stephen Timms and Canary Wharf Group's Howard Dawber.

Dirk Paterson, speaking at the East Wintergarden on March 10th 2009

The government isn’t getting much by way of thanks at the moment. But as a faith based organisation I want to say thanks for a government which has always had faith in City Gateway and the people we work with. Thank you too for putting your faith in thousands of organisations like us across the UK and in millions of individuals those organisations have worked with over the years.
