Stories of a Setting Sun

Crucial impacts and exciting plans

Open Door Charity was delighted to welcome partners, colleagues and friends to our impact event Stories of a Setting Sun in February. As well as sharing our achievements from the year gone and reflecting on the strides Open Door has made during our time at Bloom Building, we looked forward to moving into our new home – Joy – later this year.

Directors Lee and Alex spoke of the exciting opportunities the space will bring and the numerous benefits Joy can have for communities of Wirral and further afield. Project Director George gave an update on the build with the great news that we’re on course to receive the building handover in June this year. This will precede a soft opening programme followed by a full opening in Autumn.

Ali from our partners Dancefloor Intimacy presented the findings from their consultation work which has led to a report of recommendations to ensure Joy is welcoming to all. You can read the report here.

We want to thank everyone that came along to Stories of a Setting Sun to make it a joyous event. Our seven years at Bloom have given Open Door so much we’re forever grateful to those that have joined us on the journey so far. We’re even happier that you’re joining us for this next exciting phase!

What is Joy, where is Joy and when’s it opening?
