Since the year 2000 the Open Doors (OD) project has been working with asylum seekers, including the destitute, refugees and migrant workers (family and individuals). It was initiated by five members of the Princes Avenue Methodist Church to offer hospitality to the refugees who were arriving in Hull from Afghanistan, Kosovo and Serbia. Twenty-one years later, the range of support offered has grown and expanded, along with the need and with the widening extent of the geographical areas from which our clients are arriving. The majority are now from the middle east, but also from Africa, south America and the Far East.
