Whether you’re looking to boost your confidence, gain hands-on experience, or simply give back to your community, we’ve got a place for you.
No matter your skills or background, there’s something for everyone—from taking part in an event to helping run our activity sessions or supporting our café.
We’ll provide training, a friendly team, and plenty of tea and biscuits along the way.

We’re so lucky to have amazing volunteers – without them, we couldn’t support our community or keep the charity running at its best!
To show just how big an impact they make, we’ve put it all into hours and pounds – their time and dedication are truly astonishing!

We’d love to have you on the Door 84 team!
Whether it’s a one-off donation, sharing your skills, or lending a hand when you can, there’s always a way to make a difference.
If you can’t commit to regular hours but could bake a cake for an event or collect items for our food bank, we’d still love to hear from you!
