We believe in better funding
Funding should be distributed to Wakefield District’s Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector in an equitable way that empowers local charities, community groups and social enterprises and fosters meaningful social impact.
​
The Gateway provides a fair and transparent way of doing this, and these principles are at the heart of everything we do.
​
We work with funders to channel investment to organisations providing services and activities that support the health and wellbeing of residents in our district. Our tiered membership system means that the funding we distribute is accessible to all sizes of organisation, from larger charities to small grassroots groups.
