Chippenham’s Doorway Project, which provides a variety of assistance and services to the homeless in the district, have been presented with a new colour printer by members of Chippenham & District Round Table.

The Doorway Project is based at the Salvation Army hall in Foghamshire and offers food, washing facilities and general help and advice to the homeless and relies upon charitable donations to carry out its work.

Andrew Baddeley – Chappell, Chairman of Chippenham Round Table comments “ We recently invited someone from Doorway to one of our meetings to learn more about the work they do. They mentioned that they were desperately in need of a new colour printer, as the one they were using was very slow and didn’t do double-sided printing. We were so impressed with their efforts that Round Table agreed to purchase a new printer for them.

Round Table raise money through local events such as running the barbeque when the Christmas Lights are switched on, and organising the Children’s Fun Day in John Coles Park, so it’s good to put some of that money back into a local cause such as Doorway.”

Mrs Margaret Cleverley, Manager of Doorway, added “ we are very grateful to Round Table for this new printer which will enable us to be more efficient and produce better quality documents and reports for Doorway.”

The new printer was handed over to Doorway at the Salvation Army hall.
