Mission and Vision
Lighthouse Homes have a mission to help eradicate homelessness, working in partnership with others, to provide quality homes, with care and support.
We express the Christian faith through our service to others on the margins of our communities, working to see change and growth in those who come to Lighthouse
What We Do
Lighthouse Homes offer immediate, medium and long term accommodation to women and men who are homeless. We offer a safe and structured environment with a particular emphasis on helping those with a history of addiction. Currently we have four faith-based residential communities, providing opportunities for change in lifestyles and values.
Referrals
Lighthouse Homes accepts self-referrals and professional referrals. We engage in a careful process of assessment on both sides prior to admission, either by phone or face to face. We do not accommodate those with a history of, or current charges relating to sexual offending or arson with intent to endanger life. For a small number of residents we will consider long term residence, as a place of safety and protection.
Houses
Currently we have four projects, two in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and others in Shirebrook and Chesterfield, Derbyshire. These homes are drug and alcohol free.
Involvement in any faith based activity is entirely optional and without any pressure or requirement. Our projects have weekly services and daily devotions and a number of our residents chose to be part of these activities.
Our Services
We encourage all our residents to engage in at least 10 hours community/voluntary work each week. We are supported in our work by various partners who offer courses and activities, sports and social events, both in-house and within our communities. We have good links with local church and community organisations, with many opportunities to get involved We engage with 12 steps programmes in the communities we serve.
