Welcome to Door 84
We are a registered charity that is home to a vibrant youth and community centre in York.
We support young people, adults with disabilities, and the wider community through inclusive projects, a café, and a food bank – creating a ripple of positive impact that extends far beyond our doors.

Youth Sessions
6 sessions available each week
Our Youth Sessions are all about fun, friends, and trying new things! Open to ages 8-17, you can get stuck into sports, arts, gaming, or just hang out.
Drop in, get involved, and enjoy a space where you can chill, have fun, and be yourself!
Sparks
2 sessions available each week
Sparks offers a fun, inclusive space for adults with diverse support needs, including those with disabilities and autism.
From games and dancing to arts and crafts, our sessions help build confidence, friendships, and new skills.
Community Café
1 session available each week
At Door 84’s Community Café, everyone’s welcome! It’s a friendly, safe space to enjoy a cuppa, connect with others, and access additional support.
Our food bank provides access to donated food in addition to our community pantry which offers access to a wide range of purchased foods at low subsidised prices.
Community Programmes
1 session available each week
We deliver a range of commissioned programmes designed to build practical skills, and bring people together.
These funded projects provide a supportive, pressure free space for anyone not currently in work, education, or training to grow their confidence and connect with their local community.
Our current Cooking from the Cupboard course is a prime example of this approach, offering a friendly, relaxed space to master simple recipes and build kitchen confidence using everyday staples.
