Funding the Redevelopment

Hightown Praetorian & Churches Housing Association (Hightown), in partnership with the Open Door Trust and St Albans City & District Council (SADC), are most grateful to the Community and Local Government ‘Place of Change Programme’ for the initial grant of £525,000 which enabled the refurbishment of the Open Door premises.

The Open Door Trust have been instrumental in raising the financial shortfall for the completion of the refurbishment – in the region of £300,000 and wish to put on record their very grateful thanks to all of the following for their generosity and support:
