The Gate Pregnancy Crisis Centre

The Gate provides a space for women to discuss their concerns when having to make life changing decisions about their pregnancies. The centre provides accurate and up to date information and always aims to help women make their own strong decisions without undue influence from the many pressures around them.

The Gate also provides support following baby loss of any kind to those experiencing struggles or difficulties. Various programmes are available depending on individuals’ circumstances.

  • Points of Praise

    · Celebrating having recently had contact with 1070 clients since The Gate was established, we are thankful for the impact on people’s lives, the healing and hope facilitated, and for the babies who got to live. A post-abortion client recently wrote:

    “I could not recommend The Gate Westminster enough. I went through an abortion back in 2022 and I never thought I would stop punishing myself or feel like I could live normally again. My advisor has been amazing throughout and each session taught me new things and made me think in new ways. I now feel like I have the tools to deal with my emotions. I finally feel like I am able to let go of the hurt I’ve been putting myself through. I wish I had done this sooner. Thank you.”

    · For the small, dedicated team of Trustees who oversee The Gate and help shape its direction with skill and creativity. Their individual skills, professions and passions are invaluable.

    · For God’s continued provision towards The Gate. We have just renewed a generous lease provision with Westminster Chapel which provides a home for the office and a comfortable, neutral space for clients to visit. Our supporters continue to provide prayer and financial support.

    Prayer Points

    · We ask God to provide comfort, hope and peace to the women who use The Gate’s services, especially those facing difficult decisions around their pregnancies or challenging circumstances. We ask for healing for those struggling with past decisions and for new direction as people realign their lives with a fresh perspective. The Gate desires all clients to encounter the character of Christ in their dealings with the charity.

    · Prayer for those supporting clients, and for the recruitment of new, compassionate volunteer advisors. We ask for real wisdom for all those involved who are supporting women navigating their options, and for their compassion, patience and discernment to be renewed as they serve. We request strength and renewal for the Trustee board also, as they govern the charity and its resources.

    · Continued financial provision is our third prayer request. That the planned financial appeal and a Summer sponsored fundraising event are both successful and that, importantly they raise important awareness of the charity’s work in addition to funds.
