Gateway is the leisure arm of West Berkshire Mencap.  Gateway clubs help people with a learning disability take part in leisure, social and creative activities in the community, and provide opportunities for personal development.  

Gateway Club in West Berkshire meets weekly at the Mencap Centre and is a great opportunity for adults with a learning disability to take part in their own social club.

Gateway Club holds discos, musicians come in to entertain and there are often games nights and craft nights.

Referral and Availability Notes

If an individual would like to join the Gateway Club, they will need to attend their first session with a carer to see if they would enjoy and benefit from the club. If they decide that they want to come regularly from what they experience at this session, they would then be given the registration forms to complete and return to the Gateway Leader. After the forms are returned they would be able to attend by themselves or if they need support they can attend with their carer.   Gateway Club is a small club with up to 30 members who attend, there is a waiting list.   Visiting and taster sessions are to be booked in advance with the Gateway Leader.   Non- attendance will be charged and after 6 weeks, the membership will be retracted and offered to the next person on the waiting list.
