Gateway Award

The Gateway Award is a challenging and exciting programme of activities for those aged 13 years and upwards. It is evidence-based, and provides a framework where participants can design their own programme of activities.

The Gateway Award has three progressive levels: bronze, silver and gold. Each of these award levels has five sections for participants to complete:

hobbies
volunteering
adventure challenge
fitness
lifestyle

Within each award level, the sections can be completed in any order and the participant can choose whether to complete the sections one at a time or simultaneously.

The Gateway Award is person-centred and based on individual challenge and achievement. It is a flexible programme and provides a framework for participants and award support staff to use as the basis for their activities. The programme can then be adapted as necessary to suit each individual.
