Celebrating our 16th Birthday - Lighthouse Project
We all love a good celebration don’t we.
Well this week we celebrated the 16th Birthday of the Lighthouse Project, and reflected 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…’
Roll that forward, and here we are in 2026 marking 16 years of community service, and hopefully building on our strengths and achievements 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.
The Lighthouse Project is part of local charity Inspire Middleton which raises all its own funding through grants and donations. The help and support of groups and organisations is just the type of thing that we need – are you able to donate and invest in helping us tackling poverty and building a better community?
