A £15,000 donation from Westlea Housing Association has been described as a "lifesaver" by Doorway's project manager.

Westlea's executive director Ann Cornelius, who presented the cheque, said:

"Westlea is really pleased to give this great project a boost with this latest donation. We hope it will help enable The Salvation Army and CVS North Wiltshire to further develop the excellent service they offer to local homeless people.”

Margaret Cleverley, project manager for Doorway, says:

“Doorway is making a difference to the lives of many homeless people – moving them on from homelessness by providing them with food, friendship, structured activities and hope for the future. We are a major local project with a great deal still to do – but to do it we need sufficient financial resources and this donation from Westlea is a lifesaver in that respect!"
