For many, Christmas is a time of warmth, joy, and happy memories, but for others in our community, this season can be a difficult reminder of hardship, loneliness, or uncertainty. At The Lighthouse, our mission is to bring light into the lives of those who are struggling, as we look to make a significant difference to many individuals during this special time of year.

Last year, we saw the community respond to our Christmas Kindness appeal, raising almost £68,000, enabling The Lighthouse to help over 2,700 local people. We provided food hampers, toys, gifts, warm clothing, parties, and Christmas lunch to celebrate together.

This year, the need is even greater. Many in our community continue to feel the effects of rising living costs, unemployment, isolation, and uncertainty. With your help, we can provide hope and practical support to ensure that everyone we serve experiences the joy of Christmas.
