In 2016 at Doorstep we welcomed over 1100 visitors a month. We served 500+ healthy lunches and toasted bread on a weekly bonfire. We swapped stories and ideas. We offer hundreds of hours of specialist support to families in crisis. We play, eat, sing and chat together.

Every day that we open has a cost – our lovely staff, our play resources, our Kitchen costs and keeping our building running smoothly. Funding is scarcer than ever and we need your help. We'd still love you to put a couple of pounds in the donation box if you come in to play. But by becoming a Champion you're doing something much bigger - you're laying the foundations for our work behind the scenes, with families who really need our help.

Will you become a Doorstep Champion and help us carry on our work into the future?

  • We want to hear from our Champions – why do you think Doorstep matters? Email us or tell us in person, and we’ll share your stories.

THANK YOU!

Without you we can't stay open.
With you we can thrive for years to come.

Doorstep is like a home from home. The children love being around their friends and they get to do creative activities with the play leaders. The bonfire and toast is always a firm favourite every Wednesday!
