About Us

The Open Doors forum charity is based in the heart of Derby, in Normanton.  Led by a group of professional people from the Black African Caribbean Community in Derby. We want to help, support, and encourage Black people through enhancing educational opportunities for all, promote social unity, and to encourage more people to be visible in the community at all levels and in as many ways as possible. Improving the Quality of Life for the Black Community!

Open Doors Forum (ODF) is a voluntary organisation that was established in May 2003 by founder members Sonia Richards and Beverly Stewart and since the launch we`ve targeted various services and projects for all the generations of Black African Caribbean People. ODF has served over 500 people within the community since 2003 and all members and volunteers are DBS checked. A key milestone for us is that in August 2006 ODF became a registered charity organisation No. 1115689.

The structure of the organization is that we have nine management committee members, a chairperson, a treasurer, a secretary, one project coordinator/ manager, seasonal workers, and 40+ volunteers.

A positive involvement in society

We aim to cultivate a generation of compassionate leaders and change-makers.
