How we help

We provide a range of core services (Advice, Support and Development) which are supported by other initiatives all of which aim to tackle all aspects of social disadvantage including poor housing, low levels of household incomes and low educational attainment. All Doorway’s core services work closely together to provide an inclusive approach to identify positive solutions which encourage independence and mental well being. At the heart of all of our activities is a commitment to working with the young person to meet their individual need appropriate to their personalities and situations and we strive to find better, more inventive ways to empower young people.

The aim of our organisation is to ensure that young people who are homeless can look forward with optimism, raise their aspirations and improve their quality of life as a result of accessing good quality housing and support and equipping them with the skills, attitudes and ability to move forward positively in their lives and fulfil their needs and potential.

Making a donation will directly help someone to change their life. Every year we help over 400 vulnerable young people to change their lives and we could not do that without your support. Making a donation to Doorway allows us to plan for the long term. It helps us to meet future challenges and develop new and innovative ways to help young people change their lives.
Homeless prevention work
Fundraising

It’s vital for us to raise funds and we need your help! We don't employ fundraisers at Doorway and it is all done by the staff, management committee and volunteers. Fundraising enables us to continue offering essential support and guidance to vulnerable young people in the community. Fundraising contributions make a real difference to the lives of people in crisis who are either homeless or facing homelessness and help us provide the services to support them so please help.
Community Garden

Doorway's Community Garden is a space for young people to grow their own fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs. It provides the young people with new skills and is a great way to promote positive health and well being.
How we're funded

Doorway receives funding from different sources to carry out the vital work that we do. Every penny counts to help more than 450 young people each year to overcome homelessness and move forward in their lives.
