The Open Door opened in the former Victorian school in 2017, and the Trustees continue its development in support of the compassion ministries of Christ Church Barnet.

​​

                The kitchen was extended in 2024, relieving pressure on the daily work and                                      providing much needed storage space. The Trustees are now exploring ways                    

              in which the extended facilities can be used for community service.

Evening sessions have already been held to help food bank clients produce

appetizing meals from basic materials, and other ideas are being considered

​

​​The current plan is for the first floor to be used to support CCB’s emerging ‘Compassion Ministries’, providing an area for activities, advice and services relevant to people in the local community and which can be rented out to local community groups.

The completed extension to the ground floor reflects the remarkable success of the first seven years of the Centre. The Trustees wish to build on the achievements the Centre has made thus far, to expand and transform work already being done by CCB and to do so in a way which restores dignity and self-confidence to vulnerable members of our community.
If you have any queries or comments, then do get in touch.

We would love to hear from you!
