Partner with us
Could your business or organisation help drive real change for people experiencing homelessness in St Albans by partnering with us?
Partners
We’re always keen to hear from local organisations, charities, and businesses who feel their work aligns with our mission to support people experiencing homelessness and social exclusion.
If you believe a partnership with us could be mutually beneficial, we’d love to talk. Working together means we can achieve more — for our clients, for the local community, and for the future of St Albans.
Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities
For businesses, supporting Open Door is a chance to give back and make a visible difference right here in your community. Sponsorship also helps raise your company’s profile and demonstrate your commitment to social responsibility.
Current Opportunities include:
The Winter Beds Project
Help us provide warm, safe sleeping spaces during the coldest months of the year. It costs £1600 per week to provide an overnight space for 5 people to sleep.
Could your company fund a week or a month?
The St Albans Sleepout
Our flagship fundraising event - sponsor or take part to show your support and raise awareness.
Organise your own event or sponsored activity
Perhaps you have a team of runners, walkers or climbers amongst you? Consider organising an event - firewalking, hiking or running a marathon. Consider events that can get the whole company involved.
In-kind donations or event support
Could you organise a food drive? Donating food is a practical way to get involved.
Your sponsorship
Your sponsorship not only enables us to deliver vital services — it also gives your business positive exposure, strengthens customer loyalty, and shows that you care about local people in need.
Sponsoring our projects and events is a good way to raise your profile locally and attract new customers for your business.
Many people like to buy from companies who support charities, particularly local ones with whom they can relate and it puts your business in front of audiences who may not have heard of your business.
People have more incentive to support your business if you’re invested in the local community and forming an emotional connection is half the battle in building brand loyalty.
If you feel your brand aligns with our mission, we’d love to hear from you.
Pennies – Micro donations
We believe small acts of generosity can make a big difference — and today’s customers are more ready than ever to give.

Build sustainable income
Turn everyday transactions into long-term support through regular micro-donations at the point of sale.
No setup costs
It’s free to take part. Pennies is a registered charity too, and the model is built to be cost-effective and accessible.
