Supporters

Companies and sponsorship play a huge part in the success of fundraising events such as The Big Sleep Out as the more costs are covered through 'Gifts in Kind' the more money that is raised. We would like to say a big 'Thank You' to all our supporters who are listed below, who allowed all the profits to be given to the charity to proceed with providing services to young runaways and their families. If you would like to get involved, then why not contact us on 01925 246910 to see how you can help us and we can help you.

openingdoors

openingdoors commenced its operation in 1982 as Warrington Action for Homeless when representatives from several local agencies came together to respond to the increasing problem of single youth homelessness in Warrington. A Trustee Board was formed and volunteers were recruited for service delivery. The charity is fully committed to the challenges required in promoting new ways of working, both inside and outside the organisation. It acknowledges the need for creative solutions in the prevention of homelessness, to partnerships, in raising its own funds, contracted service delivery, serving the needs of service users and providing key input into supporting complex needs. We are delighted to be working with Talk..Don’t Walk and working in partnership to raise awareness of the issues of young runways and youth homelessness.
