Objectives and Activities
Our Values
Doorway Wiltshire Limited accepts and values diversity in all people, and is committed to a policy of equal opportunities in all areas of its business. We believe that time should be given to working with people who wish to fulfil their personal potential and participate fully in society but find it difficult to do so for whatever reason. Service Users are known as 'Guests' rather than 'Clients', which defines the relationship we wish to achieve.
Our Vision
We believe that homeless and marginalised individuals are capable of change and will only achieve their full potential when offered a safe, supportive, empowering and non-judgemental environment - it is our vision to provide such an environment and meaningful activities which will help reverse the spiral of homelessness.
Our Mission Statement
To realise this vision, Doorway Wiltshire Ltd will strive to:
-
Provide a warm, safe, non-judgemental environment;
-
Train staff to engage with guests and form professional boundaried relationships;
-
Use these relationships to promote growth in guests self-esteem, confidence and aspirations;
-
Provide information, support and, where necessary, practical help that will empower people to make and act on informed choices arrived at by themselves;
-
Provide activities which are likely to enhance guests’ skills and raise self-confidence as a first step towards changing their lives;
-
Encourage and empower guests to become involved in the running of the organisation and in forums designed give services users a voice;
-
Promote the needs of homeless and marginalised people locally thereby helping to reduce discrimination towards them and influencing the local community to become more supportive and less judgemental.
Our Key Objectives
-
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 to gain self-esteem, confidence, and a sense of wellbeing through meaningful recreational pursuits, thereby, enabling them to move on in their lives away from dependency into selfsufficiency via employment, education or training;
-
Signpost guests towards housing, social care and mental and physical health services
-
Advocate on guests’ behalf to local and national government to improve their lives through policy change;
-
Raise local awareness of the needs of the 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.

Report of the Trustees (continued)
Our Achievements and Public Benefits
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with section 4 of the Charities Act 2006, to have due regard to the Charity Commissioners general guidance on Public Benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit' and the outcomes are summarised below:
-
Doorway Wiltshire Ltd continues to be the key agency in Chippenham and North Wiltshire for homeless and marginalised young people and adults;
-
During the year we provided 125 session (2021: 100) sessions, served 1,331 (2021: 1,222) meals to 164 (2021: 158) individuals - with an average of 17 guests per session (2021:15). Guests came from towns including Corsham, Bath, Malmesbury, Devizes, Warminster, Westbury, Salisbury, Swindon, Trowbridge, Melksham and the villages, with 85% (2021: 87%) coming from Chippenham.
-
Our work benefits not only the individuals who attend the drop-in but also the wider community, as guests are supported to move on in their lives away from substance dependency and reliance on welfare benefits and services. When asked at their first visit, 45% (2021: 45%) of guests stated that the primary reason for homelessness is relationship breakdown but this isn’t the full story as in many cases there were a number of complex reasons;
-
Our unique position means that we are regularly consulted by Wiltshire Council, the media and other agencies for information and statistics about our client group, although information on individual guests is not revealed;
-
Our guests are encouraged to engage in social activities designed to build skills and selfconfidence as preparation for moving on (e.g. music, creative writing, women’s group and football) and to contribute to our website and to our community blog which gives them a 'voice' locally and beyond;
-
We have our own programme of one to one support, helping guests to identify and work towards achieving positive changes they wish to make in the their lives. Our aim is to reduce recurring homelessness amongst guests who have tenancies but lack basic life skills;
-
We work closely with other agencies including the Police, Housing Options, Turning Point and health & welfare agencies.
-
Our very effective community engagement programme promotes the needs of homeless and marginalised people locally, thereby helping to reduce discrimination against them, and also generates support for the positive work we do;
-
Funding security is good with regular monthly donations by the public in addition to donations from Churches, Corporate bodies, and other charitable sources;
-
We have excellent staff with a superb body of volunteers and a standard of good practice established over the life of the Charity.
Funding and Support
Between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022 we received income of £165,693 (2021: £171,033). This represents a 3% decrease (2021: 55% increase) on income over the previous year. As a result of continued support from the general public and businesses in the form of donations, there was excess of income over expenditure of £9,025 (2021: £68,737) for the year. All funds were used to provide staff and, the drop in facilities, administration offices and the refurbishment of the new premises of Doorway Wiltshire Limited.
Reserves Policy
Doorway Wiltshire Limited holds a designated fund in a separate deposit account to ensure there are sufficient funds for 2 months operation without a drop-in and an orderly winding up of the Charity if the situation ever arose, satisfying Charity Commission guidelines for a charity of this type. Reserves are also held for those costs accrued against un-invoiced expenditure.
