15th - 19th July 2024
🏆📜 This particular week in July every year is one of our favourites because it means the Preston Vocational Centre (PVC) Annual Awards Night! Young people (14-19) who’ve been studying with PVC – Community Gateway’s charitable subsidiary – over the last 12 months were joined by parents and guardians for an evening of celebration as they picked up their formal qualifications. Many of the students received certificates for their City & Guilds Awards in Construction Skills, while PVC’s Centre Manager Martin Grayston presented ten other special awards, including Student of the Year, Best All-Round Ability, and Most Improved Student.
👕🩳 School uniform will be at the forefront of everyone’s minds in about a month’s time, as children prepare to go back to school – so we have joined forces with two community partners who are setting up their own free school uniform shops. As you’ll see pictured below, we’ve been taking donations from the very nice people at Rebuild With Hope Foundation and Morrisons. Thank you!

🗺️📌 Finally, to finish this week’s summary, our Community Engagement Officers have been delivering their all-important neighbourhood pop-up visits and Gateway2You sessions: the pop-up this week was in Preston city centre on Thursday, and the G2Y was on Monday at St Matthew’s Mission on Acregate Lane (east Preston).
📅👀 Next week: Gateway will be coming to you on Friday 26 July, as we head out to The Hub at St Bernard’s (Elswick Road, Ashton-on-Ribble, PR2 1NT) – so if you’d like to come and see us, feel free to drop in between 11am and 1pm for a chat! It’s at the same time as their coffee morning – perfect! ☕
