Nuneaton & Bedworth Mayor's Appeal 2018-2019

In the current climate, private rental costs are spiraling resulting in high upfront costs as well as fewer places to rent. We are struggling to help young people who simply don’t have the money required to rent. Consequently this is leading to more young people becoming homeless. Doorway would desperately like to own a property to provide safe, secure accommodation for homeless young people in the Nuneaton and Bedworth area.
