Open Door costs approximately £275,000 to run per annum, of this total between £70,000 and £80,000 is met by charitable donations. We rely on this level of charitable support to meet the gap between our income from charges and grants and our expenditure. The long-term future of Open Door remains uncertain.

To deal effectively with the problems of homelessness in St Albans we must achieve a secure financial future for Open Door. This will enable us to maintain our current services and consider expansion.
