Warminster Area Board has granted Open Door, Warminster £3,000 to support the running of the popular Chat Cafes. Open Door Warminster is an entirely volunteer driven charity so all the funds will go directly to fund the running of the Chat Cafes that take place 10 times each month.
Debs Gogarty, treasurer, said:
“We rely completely on grants and donations to pay for our outgoings. Finding suitable funding organisations is always a challenging process with grant funders tightening up on their funds. We don’t charge our guests for enjoying the cafés as we don’t want money to be a barrier to someone making social connections that will help them thrive.
So having a supportive Area Board like Warminster, that actively promotes our work is incredibly important.
On behalf of all the volunteers I would like to say a massive thank you to the Board for its generous grant.”
