Our guests rely on our lockers every day, but most had become damaged and unusable. We reached out for support – and the amazing Cheltenham Lions stepped in with a generous donation that allowed us to buy a brand-new set of lockers. 

Here is Martin from Cheltenham Lions with Open Door’s Guest Coordinator, Heather.  

As Rosie, our Ops Manager, explains:   “Out on the streets, there’s nowhere to charge essential devices. We’re often asked by authorities to provide simple phones so rough sleepers can stay in touch and access support. Many guests use power banks too, which need regular charging.  

Our charging lockers let guests safely plug in their devices, lock the door, and keep the key – giving them security, privacy, and a reliable way to stay connected, even when we’re closed.”  

These new lockers will make a real difference to our guests’ daily lives.   Thank you, Cheltenham Lions, for helping us keep people connected.
