Welcome to High Wycombe Gateway Club
We are a social club for adults with learning disabilities. We meet on a Tuesday evening at Wright’s Meadow Community Centre.
Following the serious incident on Tuesday 18th March as our members were leaving our club at Wrights Meadow, we will be taking extra measures to ensure the safety of all those arriving and departing from the Wright’s Meadow Centre. Please be extra vigilant, and if you see any suspicious or threatening behaviour towards our members, please inform the staff or volunteers at Wright’s Meadow. If any of our members have any concerns following the incident, please talk to one of the Gateway Volunteers.
