Objectives and Activities
Ourvalues
DooNiay 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 Ststement
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 boundary 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 chol￿S 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 setvices 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 (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 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 self-sufficiency via
employment. education or training.
Signpost guests towards housing, social care and mental and physical health seNices
Advocate on guests. behalf to local and national government to improve their lives through
policy change.
Raise local awareness ofthe 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.

OurAchievements and Public Benefrts
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 Wittshire for
homeless and marginalised young people and adults.
During the year we provided 179 drop-in sessions (2023: 148), plus 173 group sessions (2023-
136) including the women's, football, Substan￿ support, art and the newly formed men's group
and allotment group. We served 3123 (2023: 2913) meals to 278 {2023: 264) individuals- with
an average of 21 guests per drop-in session (2023.22).
Guests came from towns including Calne Corsham, Bath, Malmsbury, Devizes, Warminster,
Westbury, Salisbury, Swindon. Trowbridge, Melksham and the villages, with 85¥0 (2023.. 83%)
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 Substan￿ dependency and
reliance on welfare benefits and services. When asked at their first visit, 33¥. (2023.. 31%) 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 behind this.
Our unique position means that we are regularly consulted by Wiltshire Council, the media and
other agencies ft)r 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 self-
confidence 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 ourown 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 Solutions, Probation,
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 discriminats'on 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 SoU￿s.
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 2023 and 31 March 2024 we received income of £264,095 (2023: £227,875). There
was excess of income over expenditure of £6,383 {2023: £27,135) for the year. All funds were used to
provide staff and, the drop in facilities, administration offices and the upkeep of the premises.

Independent Examinerfs report to the Trustees of Dootway Wiltshire Limited
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 as set out on pages 9 to 16.
Respectlve responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law)
are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not
required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination. it is my responsibility to-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act.
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under
section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act. and
. to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of the Independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any
such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an
audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view
and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examlnerfs report
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to indicate that..
Accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006,.
. The accounts do not accord with such records:
Where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant
accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the
Charities SORP {FRS102), and
. Any matterwhich the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the readerto gain a proper
understanding of the accounts.

6a. Reserves Policy
Following a period of growth, in line with the company strategy, Doorway has restructured its reserves
to better reflect the next stage of development. A risk-based review of the company's operations and
funding suggests that a target level of free reserves of between £80,000 and £100,000 is appropriate to
allow sound governance. Beyond this Doorway has also established 3 designated rese￿eS to drive
future development. These include:
£5,000 to examine and improve EDI (Ethnicity diversity and inclusion) awareness, and thereby
ensure service delivery is fully sensitive to its requirements.
£15,000 to improve IT and data systems. A key deliverable here is a database to better track
added value inteNentions for our guests.
£50,000 to explore and establish, more geographically widespread service delivery.
