Surrey’s fourth ‘Lighthouse’ comes to Guildford – Transforming Lives Through Kindness, Belief and Hope.
On Thursday June 19th, I visited the newly opened Lighthouse Centre at the top of Guildford High Street.
The Lighthouse already operates vibrant hubs in Woking, Aldershot and Barnsbury, which offer a mix of drop-in sessions together with a plethora of group and project initiatives, and now they are opening their doors in Guildford, in a spacious former shop. They are reaching out to the local community to ascertain what is most needed but already offer a mum and baby group and a Men Matter session.
I have known of the great work they have been undertaking for a number of years and I was delighted to support their Guildford Christmas Kindness appeal as Chair of Guildford Philanthropy together with the then Mayor of Guildford, Sallie Barker, at our joint Mistletoe Ball last December.
It was therefore a pleasure that Sallie, was also at the Lighthouse when I visited and met with Erik (who heads up The Lighthouse with his wife Rebecca) and Anna the Centre Manager at Guildford.
I would like to share with you the following heartwarming words which shine a light on the values of The Lighthouse, you can find out more and donate HERE:
