Gatis Community Space
Gatis community space has been set up with the community in mind. Our vision is to make the centre and surrounding green spaces a safe haven of tranquillity where people can come together to explore their connection to the wider world, learn new skills and help make Wolverhampton a more sustainable city.
We run a number of regular activities and workshops covering subjects from herbology to rocket stove building to learning sign language.
We also host a wide variety of events from family fun days, to an annual lantern parade, to pop up “pay as you feel” dining events with The real junk food project.
We place strong emphasis on encouraging the community to get involved and help shape the future of the site with an ethos that if you have a good idea and the determination to try and make it happen, we will give as much support, guidance and information to make it a reality as we are able.
We always have volunteering opportunities available and we are open to all.
