OUR IMPACT

Care - Connection - Community

Welcome to The Open Door — a place where care, love, and laughter truly make a difference.

โ€‹

Our Day Services, registered with the Care Inspectorate, are designed to support the often complex needs of older people. We like to call them our “Clubs”, because they’re more than services — they’re warm, welcoming communities where everyone belongs.

โ€‹

Open five full days (Monday to Friday) each week, our Clubs offer connection, companionship, and meaningful support for those who may be feeling isolated. Here, you’ll find friendly faces, shared moments, and a space where older people can feel valued, supported, and at home.

โ€‹

We’re delighted you’re here, and we can’t wait to share more about what makes The Open Door such a special place.

Last year alone:

We served 3,723 hot meals in a warm, welcoming space

We supported 50 individuals each week living with dementia or other health conditions

We delivered 408 activity sessions, from art and music to gentle exercise

15 volunteers gave 3,366 hours to make this possible

Day Services

Our Day Services are designed to meet the diverse needs of vulnerable adults, including those living with dementia. We provide person-centred, outcome-focused Day Services, to ensure the well-being and social inclusion of our members.

โ€‹

Our Day Services help maintain independence and mobility, and promote wellbeing and confidence.

โ€‹

Day Services delay the progression of functional decline, cognitive decline and premature moves to care homes (King's College London May 2024).

We provide support to older people, those living with dementia, poor health or mobility and those who care for them.
Our services support people at our community hub.
