Every time I walk through Oxford I notice the number of homeless people who are on the streets, and so this year I have decided to cycle the Bike Oxford ride to raise money for The Gatehouse, a charity that gives homeless people in Oxford somewhere to go. 

This is what they say about themselves:

'The Gatehouse has been operating as a local drop in café for Oxford City homeless and the vulnerably housed for thirty years.

The Aims of the charity are: “To relieve poverty and hardship among homeless and needy people in or near the City of Oxford and, in particular, by the provision of a drop-in centre.”

On a more personal level this is achieved by welcoming the homeless and vulnerable and providing a place where companionship, dignity, and refreshment can be found in a warm, safe and therapeutic environment. All services offered by The Gatehouse to its Guests are provided free of charge.'

If you would like to find out more about The Gatehouse and what they do, you can visit their web page here:

Please help The Gatehouse to help homeless people in Oxford by sponsoring me. Thank you!
