Our Lighthouses are vibrant hubs that host a range of projects to support, encourage and empower anyone who finds themselves in need. Our main Lighthouse is in Woking.
Emmaus Rd Guildford holds two annual pop up Lighthouse events at Founders Studio: Back to School in the Summer and Christmas Kindness in Winter.
These annual events are run in partnership with Jigsaw, and reach out to families most in need in our local community. It is an opportunity to bring kindness, hope and joy to families who are finding life a real struggle at the moment – with the cost of living crisis and fuel bills soaring. Families are referred to us by local schools.
We also have a Guildford Jigsaw collection point at Founders, run alongside Tots and Toddlers on a Tuesday morning.
Back to School exists to support families in financial need by helping with some of the costs of children being at school. We provide vouchers so that families can choose new, good quality shoes for their children, backpacks with stationery, and pre-loved uniform.
All our events at Woking, Guildford and Aldershot have happened now but there is still time to donate towards the cost of the vouchers for over 1000 children referred to us. Watch our update video to learn more about Back to School.
Any donations to help cover these costs will be gratefully received.
