So much has been happening over the last few months. Members have been to Killerton House to decorate a Christmas Tree in the chapel, and another group went to see all the finished ones.

We’ve celebrated several birthdays, with cakes made by the members. The kitchen has also seen baking in the form of mince pies and cookies plus marzipan fruit to go in art and craft items, made by the members.

Both singing and football sessions have continued, with the ‘choir’ performing at our Christmas Party, which was attended by 52 members, plus staff, volunteers and support workers. The raffle raised £125, with thanks to those that donated prizes, including Exeter City FC.

Football has between 15 and twenty players each week-the players enjoy both practising their skills and seeing their friends.

Arts and craft activities have kept the members very busy, with an array of choice on offer. We have had our new space for a year now, and it is very popular both as a quiet room and a working area.

As we look forward to another year of Gateway, we wish you all the best for 2026!
