The Lighthouse Hostel has been in operation since January 2002.

It opened as an eleven bedded facility, providing supported accommodation for homeless men, with a team of seven paid staff plus volunteers.

Now, six years on we can provide supported accommodation 24 hours a day seven days a week for up to 20 men, with high support needs and we have a team of 16 paid staff plus volunteers.

We provide support through:

• A 'Key Working' system - each client has his own primary and secondary key worker, who is there to encourage, challenge and assist him in progressing towards a healthy independent lifestyle.

• Acting as a signposting agency and networking with other agencies to ensure the client is receiving the expertise they deserve.

• Creating training opportunities.
