Opening doors.
Creating opportunity.
Restoring dignity.
Everyone deserves an open door.
The Edwards Open Door Foundation is a family-led charitable initiative being developed around one simple belief: circumstance should not determine a person's potential, dignity or opportunity in life.
THE
DOOR
Opening doors to possibility.
Our purpose is to support children, families and individuals facing disadvantage, hardship or crisis by opening practical doors to food, opportunity, confidence, community and dignity.
james@james-edwards.com ↗Five core pillars.
Our work is developed around five connected pillars, each designed to open a practical door when people need one most.
01
Nourish
Helping ensure no child goes hungry simply because school is closed.
02
Opportunity
Creating access to sport, exercise, coaching and experiences for young people whose potential may otherwise remain undiscovered.
03
Community
Developing Access Hubs: welcoming places where food, activities, sport, support and opportunity come together.
04
Respond
Supporting communities affected by humanitarian crises with fundamental needs including food, clean water, shelter and essential assistance.
05
Dignity
Providing carefully targeted support to help people facing genuine hardship regain stability, confidence and self-respect.
The Open Door Philosophy
We don't believe where someone starts in life should determine where they can finish.
Sometimes changing a life begins with something remarkably simple: a meal, a safe place, a pair of trainers, a coach who believes in you, a helping hand when life becomes difficult, or an opportunity that wasn't there yesterday.
One practical act can change a life.
Opening pathways to food, confidence, community, opportunity and dignity.
Circumstance should not determine a person's potential, dignity or opportunity.
EDWARDS OPEN DOOR FOUNDATION
Sometimes people don't need someone to change their lives for them. They simply need someone to open a door.
Opening doors can create the space for people to discover what they are capable of becoming.
