Meet the team

Doorway's team are all experienced in working with homeless young people with complex issues and have a wide range of skills. Although training can be costly we appreciate local partners who enable us to access relevant and low cost training. This means that we are able to refresh skill sets when needed and learn about new emerging issues. All of the front line team are trained to deliver our accredited Lifewise Prgramme. 

Meet our volunteer team here!
