Voluntary Organisations Project Scheme (VOPS)
Voluntary Organisations Project Scheme (VOPS), a funding programme administered through Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector, provided Opening Doors with a one-off grant which sponsored our Visible Voices performance. The funding also contributed to the development of photographic and media materials used in our public communications, as well as a contribution towards the organisation’s website development, helping to strengthen Opening Doors’ visibility and outreach.
The Melita Foundation supports Opening Doors through sponsorship of the Music 1 weekly teaching group. Their contribution helps make it possible for us to continue offering regular music sessions for our members, ensuring that members have ongoing opportunities to develop their musical skills and express their creativity.

Spazju Kreattiv has been a home for Opening Doors since the organisation’s earliest beginnings, playing an important role in its founding through the European project from which Opening Doors first emerged. Since then, Spazju Kreattiv has continued to support us by providing space for a range of activities, including our weekly sessions of Theatre 1 and 2, performances and the Arts Ability Weekend, remaining a valued and longstanding partner in our journey.

Alison White Dance Studios
Alison White Dance Studios – Thanks to the generous patronage of Alison White, Opening Doors holds its Dance Level 2 classes at the Alison White Dance Studios. Every Tuesday, our members also enjoy a ballet class personally led by Dame Alison White herself!
School of Performing Arts (SOPA)
School of Performing Arts (SOPA) provides Opening Doors with the space where its weekly training sessions take place, offered at a highly supportive and reduced rate. This invaluable support makes it possible for us to deliver our regular programmes and activities; without this space, we would not have a home in which to provide ongoing training for our members.
Teatru Manoel has been a longstanding collaborator of Opening Doors, supporting us through space and opportunities for artistic exchange and engagement. Their openness to working alongside us continues to create valuable spaces for creative development and inclusive artistic practice.

Access, opportunity, creativity.
These are not just words - they are the principles that guide our work, and the reason Opening Doors can nurture talent, break down barriers, and create meaningful pathways.
We couldn’t do it alone.
Behind every project is a network of organisations, institutions, and individuals who believe in the potential of all artists - and in the right to participate fully in the arts.
Your support shapes the future.
From commissioning performances to developing inclusive training, our funders and partners help make every idea possible.
