Light Project Peterborough provides support to those who are in desperate need within Peterborough. The vision of LPP is ‘Enabling and equipping the church and community to heal the broken hearted, set free the oppressed and bring good news to the poor.’
Our aim is to be a truly city-focused, city-change charity by providing projects such as Street Chaplaincy, Homeless Health Hub, Emergency Night Shelters, and Peer Advocacy.
LPP's biggest project though is The Garden House which opened in October 2018 and is Peterborough’s homeless hub. It is instrumental in both delivering and enabling others to respond to the needs of the homeless in Peterborough. Over 2024/25, 1,039 different people were supported at The Garden House and 596 were helped to move away from the streets and into accommodation.
Every month since January 2024, we have had at least 32 new people coming to the Garden House seeking support. Our amazing team of staff and volunteers are on hand to listen, give advice and show love to each person coming through our doors.
