Gateway Exchange Fund

The former Gateway Exchange was a centre in Abbeymount, Edinburgh where people with backgrounds of prison, drug abuse and mental health problems worked together to create a project, which emphasised the creative potential and human resource of everyone involved. The Exchange was set up by Sara and Jimmy Boyle, after Jimmy’s release from prison in 1981. By 2004, Sara felt the time had come to pass on the administration of the Exchange and transferred the assets to the Scottish Community Foundation to set up the Gateway Exchange Fund. Sara, with her co-adviser, Rodney Stares, decides which projects are supported from a range of recommendations made to them by the Foundation.

Purpose
The Gateway Exchange Fund aims to support those who are seeking funding assistance to promote healing, creative self expression, transformation and renewal through innovative projects which can make a difference in areas of deprivation and need throughout Scotland.
