Roger's story
Roger has lived in his Gateway home since August 1977, almost 50 years. Over time, he's seen his neighbourhood change, made lasting connections with his neighbours and continued to play an active part in his local community. We spoke to him during one of our recent events:
"It's the neighbours I like most about living here. Everyone is friendly. I've never had problems with anyone, but I'm a friendly kind of fella.
"I've never had any problems with Gateway. When you get in touch, what you're asking gets done in good time. Everyone I've ever spoken to at Gateway has been nice.
"I'm involved with Gateway's community projects, including Magic Me. It's all about bringing together elderly residents and local school children. We're working on an art project all about our community - caring for each other, taking responsibility for where we live and respecting others in our community. It's great Gateway is running projects like this to mark 100 years.
"I've also been researching where I live, and who my building is named after. There is so much history about the housing in East London, slum clearance and the organisation that Gateway is today."
Thanks, Roger.
