We are seeking funding for our work with children and young people to replace a four year grant we received from BBC Children in Need, which has now come to an end. Commenting on our final report on the work and achievements BBC said “You clearly continue to achieve brilliant outcomes with your children and young people. Congratulations on the successful delivery of this grant – and we wish you all the best going forward.”

How Doorstep Helps Families

“The number of adults and children that Doorstep serves and the positive outcomes they are achieving, with such a small team and limited funding, is truly amazing. The grant we give could not be used to better affect helping the numerous families who would have fallen apart without their support”
– StreetSmart

Families attending Doorstep are homeless for a variety of reasons, including: family circumstances, illness, loss of employment, domestic violence, racial harassment, financial difficulties, and due to refugee status. Doorstep aims to assist these families by providing goods and services to make their lives more comfortable as they await a permanent housing solution.

Situated in the Abbots and Levine Hostel, Doorstep serves the 45 families accommodated immediately above, as well as those living in other temporary accomodation in North Camden,  London.

We provide space and resources for children to play, learn, develop and to help them reach their potential. Through these activities and services Doorstep aims to create a community of growth, healing and a sense of belonging that enables children and families to gain strength and confidence as they engage in society and press forward with their future.

Please donate to Doorstep – no matter how small your contribution, it will be greatly appreciated.  Help us to keep helping families who really need our support.  Sincere thanks!
