The Lighthouse Project is a part of the local charity Inspire Middleton. The vision of the charity is to inspire people, places and organisations to make Middleton a better place to live, work and visit. The people part of the charitys vision is achieved through the work of the Lighthouse Project, which also hosts Middleton Central Foodbank, Lighthouse Pantry and Lighthouse Money Advice, and many other related activities and groups. Since June 2010 the Lighthouse has seen a footfall of over 200,000 visits from all kinds of people needing help and support. Footfall is currently around 32,000 visits per year for use of our internet access, employability support, food and financial crisis intervention, social groups and leisure activities. Things that make a practical difference in peoples lives. As a self- funded charity we have to raise the money to provide our services through grants, gifts, and regular donations.
