Open Door relies on the commitment and support of our board of Trustees.

If you are interested in helping support a local charity and can give a few hours a month of your time we would love to hear from you. As a Trustee your role would be to listen, advise and guide the charity in its development and delivery. The board meet every 2 months, early evening.
