Challenge Poverty Week
For Challenge Poverty week, we reached out to some of our current and past clients who have used our services to ask if they would share their stories. Here at The Gate, we want to break the stigma towards using foodbanks and seeking support from other charities when needed. Everyone goes through rough patches sometimes and with the cost of living crisis, that makes things much harder.

We are delighted to welcome Rhona Morrison to discuss her her book ‘I don’t talk to to dead bodies’
FREE EVENT:16TH October 2023
Prepare to be intrigued, amazed and astonished as you join Dr Rhona Morrison on an often funny, and at times downright bizarre, thought-provoking, and eye-opening rollercoaster ride through some of the most curious encounters of her career as a leading forensic psychiatrist.
Delve into the minds of real people, travel directly into their living rooms and see behind the closed doors of hospitals, prisons, and court rooms. Lift the lid on Dr Morrison’s jaw-dropping experiences with murderers, stalkers, and other dangerous offenders as she attempts to make sense of some highly unusual situations.
I Don’t Talk to Dead Bodies shines a powerful, and surprisingly moving spotlight on the fascinating life of a forensic psychiatrist and the people she works with. It goes beyond the sensationalist headlines to show you just what happens in a world where mental illness can make good people do bad things.
Books will be on sale on the night and an audience Q&A
Doors open at 6.00pm, refreshments will be available
