Welcome to our Website

Open Door Accommodation Project has been working with homeless and vulnerable young people in West Lothian for 24 years. 

We operate an Emergency Hostel where young people aged 16-21 can stay for up to 8 weeks whilst they look for alternative suitable accommodation.  At the Hostel the young person will be allocated a named key-worker who will work with them offering advice, information, move-one options etc.

Our Supported Flats service provides supported accommodation, living within the community.  This service is available to 16-21 year olds.  The young person will be allocated a support worker who will help them with access to employement, training, or education, filling out housing applications, helping with budgeting etc.

The Tenancy Support service works with 16-25 year olds living in their own tenancies.  A support worker will visit with the young person weekly providing practical support such as help with shopping, cooking, budgeting etc as well as offering advice and information for accessing employment, training, education, childcare services etc.

Please support West Lothian’s charity for homeless young people Open Door by sending your colleagues and friends an animated e-Christmas card this year, saving the environment, your time and most importantly assisting a homeless young person at Christmas

The money will be used to buy Christmas gifts for the young people of all ages who are supported by Open Door. Currently they have a larger number than usual of young children within their supported flats who need assistance. With your help we can make this a special Christmas for young people less fortunate than ourselves

There are a number of animated Christmas cards to choose from. Once you have made your donation on Open Doors Just Giving page you will be emailed the E-Christmas Card links. You can use the links to send to your friends, colleagues and family as many times as you wish.
