Lighthouse Project

Huge thanks goes to our Lighthouse volunteer Jayne Bennion who organised an afternoon tea party in her garden to raise money for the Lighthouse Project, together with our weekly dementia cafe 'Music in Mind' sessions.

With the help and support of Mal Stockton, and Donna Grainger and family, they raised an incredible £1,700.00, which is absolutely amazing and reflects all of the hard work they put in to making this fundraising event so successful.

We woud also like to thank the many Middleton businesses that contributed to the event's success - The Hopwood Arms, The Albion Inn, The Crown, The Edgar Wood, The Summit, The Lancashire Fold, together with local supermarkets - we are always so grateful for your generosity.

Thank you to every single person that attended on the day to help make this such a successful event.

We had the pleasure of attending the presentation of the cheque for a whopping £708.95 🤩 money raised for the lighthouse project Hopwood. Who have been amazing hosts in all the fund raisers and who work tirelessly to support the community 👍

We were honoured to attend With the amazing NAVIGATOR RIDERS shout out to Zara who alongside a massive group of bikers have once again raised much needed funds for our Foodbank from their first ever bike show ( LEGENDS ) 😁

We all love a good celebration don't we, well yesterday we celebrated the 16th Birthday of the Lighthouse Project, reflecting on the journey we've been on since June 2010 when we first opened our doors in the Warwick Mill, with the heady ambitions to welcome and support people so 'they achieved...'

Well here we are in 2026 marking 16 years of community service, and hopefully building on our strengths and achivements for many more years to come.

Since we first opened our doors we have recorded over 450,000 visits through our doors, that's a lot of people needing help, and a lot of tea bags and loo roll!

We want to say 'thank you' to everyone who has supported us over the years, those who have donated, given food, or practical help, or who have volunteered for us helping to make it all happen. We couldn't have done it on our own, so we appreciate being part of an amazing community that wants to see positive change for our town.

And just to add a sense of nostalgia to the celebrations we have included a photo from our very first birthday celebration in the Warwick Mill. Enjoy.

Tomorrow at the lighthouse project 10-12 👍🤩
