Story
This year, we’re fundraising Doorway as our chosen Charity of the Year in support of the great work they do to address the issues being faced by those in crisis.
Doorway runs a drop-in centre in Chippenham, Wiltshire providing support and signposting for adults who are rough sleeping, sofa surfing or who are vulnerably housed.
It believes that homeless and marginalized people are capable of change when offered a safe, supportive and empowering environment, and works tirelessly to provide this and so much more.
The charity helps people in difficult situations to find stable long-term accommodation and signpost them to places of further support.
It also provides immediate support to those who need it including hot food, a shower, clean clothes and internet access, and makes referrals to other organisations where longer term support is needed.
Every day, Doorway is giving people purpose, a sense of community and belonging, and an opportunity to change their life for the better. We see huge value in their work and are delighted to be able to offer our support.
We, Doorway and all those it helps would be very grateful for any donation you can give. Please donate if you can. Thank you.

“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.” - Doorway Guest
