The Tiny Doors campaign will see 50 miniature doors, handmade by young people taking part in Mahdlo’s arts programme, displayed in businesses and venues across the town centre as part of a free public trail throughout December.
Local businesses, organisations and individuals are invited to sponsor a door, with donations helping Mahdlo provide activities, experiences and support for young people throughout the Christmas period and beyond.
Each Tiny Door can be sponsored for £300, with each sponsor’s name and business logo displayed alongside their chosen door and acknowledged across Mahdlo’s social media channels.
The trail will officially open on Tuesday 1 December, with the first Tiny Door unveiled at Gallery Oldham.
Visitors will be able to follow the festive trail throughout December, discovering the handmade creations at locations across Oldham town centre.
Lucy Lees, Chief Executive Officer at Mahdlo Youth Zone, said:
“Tiny Doors, Huge Opportunities brings together two very important things: the creativity of Mahdlo’s young people and the support of our local community.
“Each of the 50 doors has been made by young people taking part in our arts programme, putting them at the very heart of this campaign.
“The money raised through the Tiny Doors sponsorship will help us give young people even more to experience at Mahdlo, from new equipment and activities to trips and opportunities they might not otherwise have.
“We’re incredibly grateful to the local businesses and our supporters who make this possible.”
Businesses and individuals interested in sponsoring a Tiny Door are encouraged to get in touch by Thursday 26 November.
