Objectives

Doorway works with some of the most disadvantaged young people in Warwickshire. We specialise in working in communities where poverty and long-term unemployment have resulted in generations of social exclusion and high rates of homelessness. Over the past 22 years we have grown as an organisation and developed and enhanced our work and the impact it has across Warwickshire.

Activities

We provide a range of core services (Advice, Support and Development) which are supported by other initiatives all of which aim to tackle all aspects of social disadvantage including poor housing, low levels of household incomes and low educational attainment.    

All Doorway’s core services work closely together to provide an inclusive approach to identify positive solutions which encourage independence and mental well being. At the heart of all of our activities is a commitment to working with clients to meet their individual need appropriate to their personalities and situations and we strive to find better, more inventive ways to empower young people.

The aim of our organisation is to ensure that young people who are homeless can look forward with optimism, raise their aspirations and improve their quality of life. This can be achieved with access to good quality housing advice and support to equip young people with the skills and ability to move forward positively in their lives and fulfil their needs and potential.
