How We Are Financed

Doorway is funded by both financial contributions and contributions 'in kind'

In accordance with good practice in the sector, it has always been Doorway's policy to ensure that funding is secured from a variety of sources.

It is also our policy to generate as much income as possible from our own community via events we have organised including the annual SleepOut and our Community Engagement Programme using the media and social networking to generate public commitment to support the positive work that we do.

Of the £63,711 raised last year (2009 - 2010), 56% came from local donations and events organised by ourselves or others.

In addition we benefit from substantial quantities of support in kind (contributions in kind) including volunteer time (estimated value £30,000 per year), food, toiletries and used clothing.
