Our sessions at St John's Parish Rooms are held on Mondays 11.30-1, Wednesdays 9.30-11 and Fridays from 5.15 to 6.30. Offering takeaway hot food and advice and guidance for rough sleepers primarily, but other vulnerably housed people can access our services in the last half hour of each session.
Thanks to the Wiltshire Community Foundation for their support of a grant of £5,000 a year for the next three years. The Foundation is an independent charity that gives grants and funding to the voluntary sector and charities across Wiltshire.
A new target for individual monthly giving from our wider friends and supporters.
Opendoors' trustee Rachael Ross explains about how having this regular income month in month out will help us plan ahead on a firmer foundation.
It costs £25,000 each year to run Devizes Opendoors. We are dependent upon grants and donations for this money; we have no regular sources of funding. We are always grateful for any donations to our Charity. If you would like to donate, please click on the JustGiving icon below.
