Story

Thanks for supporting my efforts and taking the time to find out more about JW3 Gateways.

My name is Solomon, in the 9 years since opening the doors to vulnerable students, I am extremely excited to be the first person ever to run in a street race for JW3 Gateways, let alone the 26 mile LONDON Marathon!

My wife teaches at Gateways and I know first hand the difference she and the whole team have made, to hundreds of young people. Gateways gives vulnerable students the opportunity to progress and thrive, having previously struggled within mainstream education. This unique educational provision, provides a viable alternative that truly changes the future of each and every Gateways student.

This is why I want to raise as much as possible, to support Gateways life changing work. Your donation will help these young people now and in their future.
