We aim to make reading and writing accessible to adults who lack confidence and who do not necessarily see themselves as readers and writers.

They purchased the assets and name and use the trademark Gatehouse Books. They are NOT the original Gatehouse. It’s confusing for many tutors because although the company name is Gatehouse Media Ltd, it inevitably gets shortened to Gatehouse; hence people think it’s the same organisation – IT ISN’T! <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What’s the connection between Gatehouse Publishing Charity and New Leaf?</span><br />Following the closure of Gatehouse Publishing we were determined that our wealth of experience in community publishing and writing should not go to waste. We set up New Leaf Books as a way of taking forward the philosophy and not for profit aims that were first established by Gatehouse Publishing Charity Ltd. Many of the popular original Gatehouse titles have been republished as new editions by New Leaf. Hopefully this clarifies the situation which I know is confusing for many tutors.<br /><blogitemurl><br /> <a href="http://www.newleafbooks.org.uk">www.newleafbooks.org.uk</a><br /></blogitemurl><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240176393498535166-7022446494102107853?l=newleafpublishing.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NewLeaf Publishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06865942361527812229noreply@blogger.com0
