10 YEAR MILESTONE
This week, Limerick-based charity Gateway To Education reached the milestone of 10 years in operation. They celebrated the occasion with friends, family, staff and volunteers both past and present.
Gateway to Education Limerick is a non-profit, social enterprise founded in Limerick in April 2012 to address economic and social barriers to education. At the time, founder Suzanne Roche was raising her own children and noticed the high costs of participating with the education system. She decided to try out appealing for donations of school books and uniforms to redistribute in the community to those who needed them. Her pop-up markets were a success and had huge interest. That led her to start the charity and go on to open a shop and run many projects over the years.
