WE BELIEVE IN:

CREATING SPACES TO CHANGE

We believe that homeless and marginalized people are capable of change and can only achieve their full potential when offered a safe, supportive, empowering and non-judgmental environment.

IMPROVING CHANCES

We work hard to improve the chances of people finding stable long-term accommodation, to prevent the loss of accommodation, and to signpost to other places of support.

PROVIDING SUPPORT

We provide immediate support including hot food, a shower, clean clothes and internet access, and longer term support by making referrals to other organisations including the Council’s Rough Sleeper Outreach Worker, Housing Options, Turning Point and physical and mental health services.

TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve used Doorway for quite a few years. It’s given me a purpose, it’s given me somebody to talk to, it’s given me shelter when I’ve needed it, food and things like that, a hot shower, and it’s really turned my life around. Two years ago I was living in a van. With help from Doorway I’ve managed to turn my life around. I’ve got somewhere to live now, I’m looking to get a more permanent place with the Council. I can’t say how grateful I am to Doorway.”

“A few lines to thank you for the excellent meal I had at Doorway yesterday lunchtime. I do run short of provisions towards the end of my two week DWP payment cycle. I hate to think what it would be like on the 4.3 week Universal Credit One! Thanks for helping me make ends meet.”
Doorway Guest
“I’m struggling with everyday stuff at the mo mentally not coping tried to overdose twice since all this has started… and to be fair given up on life at mo but will say your drop-in has been the only helpful thing since all this has started and I thank you for that.”
Doorway Guest
“Doorway has always been able to think creatively when addressing the issues that overwhelm those in crisis, without patronising or preaching, allowing dignity and self esteem when needed. Long may that philosophy continue.”
