As a charity organisation with no income streams, Open Door Warminster is entirely reliant and grants and foundations to carry out its work.
Wiltshire and Swindon Community Foundation has donated £5,000 to help with the costs of room hire for all four chat cafés in 2026.
Treasurer and trustee, Mike Read said: “we are enormously grateful to WSCF for their continued support for the charity. This grant, ringfenced for room hire, ensures that the cafés will continue operating throughout 2026 – and beyond.
The Foundation has also made a provisional grant for the charity’s room hire costs in 2027, which is a huge relief. As volunteers, fundraising in what is an already overfull arena, is very unnerving.”
