Our
Aims & Objectives
Reach
Out joined Doorway in April 2010 and our plan is to incorporate
the vision and practical expertise of Reach Out into the new
organisation Doorway Wiltshire.
In
order to advance Doorway's aims and objectives our plan is
to:
-
Work,
via our drop-in facilities, with individuals above the age
of 16 (and their families and friends where appropriate)
who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, exclusion or
disadvantage because of their lifestyles, and to support
the resolution of any issues they may have with substance
abuse
- Provide
activities which help individuals to develop life skills in
literacy, numeracy, IT and financial management and to gain
self-esteem, confidence and a sense of wellbeing through meaningful
recreational pursuits, and therapies, enabling them to move
on in their lives away from dependancy into self-sufficiency
via employment, education or training.
- Signpost
guests towards housing, social care and treatment options
- Offer complimentary
therapies to enhance guests' wellbeing
- Raise local
awareness of the needs of homeless and socially excluded people,
and increase the ownership of the project by the community
- Generate funds
for all of the above by charitable or commercial means
