Get involved
Offering the right help at the right time can transform the lives of young people struggling with mental health and wellbeing. Sadly, there’s an ever-increasing demand for our services and without Open Door many young people would have nowhere to turn. Please help us give more young people the support they so desperately need.
How can you support us
Sadly, there’s an ever-increasing demand for our services and without Open Door many young people would have nowhere to turn. We try our best to provide an accessible and responsive service for all, but many young people and parents face a significant wait to receive the help they so desperately need.
While we’re supported by various charitable grants, corporate donors, the National Lottery, the NHS and local government, generous individual donations are a crucial part of our funding. We’d be grateful if you can afford to donate.
