Lighthouse Homes

Overview

Lighthouse Homes offers residential community support with a Christian ethos for those who are facing homelessness on our four sites in South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire. We welcome both men and women who need a fresh start from danger, drugs, alcohol or disappointment. We are open to anyone over 18 years, regardless of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or background. We also have a small selection of move on homes available for residents who are more ready for independent living. The Christian faith is central to everything we do and optional prayer and worship take place at all our projects. No- one is obliged to participate. We encourage an atmosphere where staff and residents freely share their beliefs if they wish: we are open to people of all faiths and none.

Achievements to date

LighthouseHomes has deep roots in the communities we serve. We have developed in response to local need and we were formed in Rotherham in 2005, by Churches Together. We are an ecumenical project, encouraging the participation of all churches and faiths. In the past four years we have grown rapidly in response to homelessness need in partnership with other Christian organisations. Our service has moved into Shirebrook and Brimington/Chesterfield in Derbyshire, in response to need. We are so pleased that God has led us into service in these new communities and we look forward to serving Him as our future unfolds.
