The Gateway Group became a registered charity in early 2017 and is comprised of the most active charitable organisations in South Lakeland. In 2022 it developed into an overarching charity representing the views of the charity network across South Lakeland and Eden in response to the changes in Local Authority boundaries. The gateway Group acts as a single voice for charities in South Cumbria when liaising with statutory partners such as the ICS and Local Authority.
Its key objectives are to provide support and guidance to those smaller organisations or voluntary groups that do not have the resources to enable them to access much needed support and guidance and also a range of online resources. It also provides a forum for the wider charity issues to be recognised.
