Graham wants to Keep The Door Open

So after gently encouraging others taking this challenge for the past 3 years from the comfort of my desk chair, I've had to concede to myself that there's really no good reason why I shouldn't take it on too. I could do with the exercise, and the countryside is particularly beautiful at this time of year, but more importantly The Door really needs our support right now.

As many charities are finding in the wake of COVID, demand for our services has never been higher, but many sources of funding have tightened or totally dried up. To find an anchor in this mental health crisis, our young people desperately need the safe spaces we provide to build relationships with trusted adults, both in our youth clubs and through 1 to 1 mentoring. Their parents and carers are also crying out for the support we provide through mentoring, peer groups and training. Your support would be a massive encouragement to us - and it will change lives!
