On Tuesday 23rd January 2007, Doorway hosted the Chippenham Chamber of Commerce Site Visit.

Doorway opened its doors to local businesses on Tuesday in order to raise the profile of the centre within the local business community.

Although not as well attended as had been hoped, the visit proved to be very successful.

Lisa Lewis, PR & Marketing Officer at Doorway, gave a short presentation about the project; followed by Margaret Cleverley, Doorway Manager, hosting a Q&A session and a walk around the new facilities at the refurbished Salvation Army Hall.

Visitors were then given a freshly cooked hot meal to show the standard of food provided for guests at the drop-in centre.

Feedback was very positive including:-

" Many thanks for the hospitality shown to Mr Day (Project Manager) and myself by you and your dedicated staff.

The Doorway project is a shining example of what can be achieved by partnership working and I truly hope that your project goes from strength to strength as it is a much needed asset to the community,

Kindest Regards

Mike Bradbury
