Reading homeless charity is selling its iconic colourful stable doors
Launchpad, Reading’s leading homelessness charity, has announced the sale of its six colourful and iconic stable doors, which have been a local landmark for years.
As the charity’s building undergoes renovations to improve its visitor facilities, the much-loved doors are available to a new home for a donation, offering supporters a large and unique opportunity to own a piece of our community’s history.
The vibrant stable doors, which feature in the Launchpad logo, have served as a symbol of Launchpad’s long-standing commitment to be here for anyone in the community who needs support. Reflecting the charity’s open-door policy and dedication to helping those facing homelessness, the doors have welcomed countless individuals and families seeking guidance, shelter, and hope.
“These stable doors have welcomed thousands of people over the years and hold a special place in our hearts, said Su Hamblyn, CEO at Launchpad. “While it’s sad to say goodbye, we’re excited to give our supporters a chance to own a piece of our charity’s history while helping us fund our future. These doors are more than just wood and paint – they represent our commitment to being here for anyone in need.”
The proceeds from donations to own the doors will go directly towards Launchpad’s ongoing mission to prevent homelessness and support vulnerable individuals and families in the community. As part of its commitment to offering essential services, including housing and assistance programs, the funds will help ensure the charity can continue to provide life-changing support to those who need it most.
Anyone interested in purchasing one of the iconic doors needs to act quickly and be able to collect. Please call Kirsti Wilson on 07593 437 309 if you are interested and she can then organise your donation and advise on when the doors can be collected.
Please note: The doors are very big and very heavy – you’ll need a large van!
