A second year in a row, what!? It is my pleasure to say that I will be running on behalf of Light Project Peterborough for a second time at the GER, aiming to fundraise to provide 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. My Brother-in-law Patrick, who works for LPP, shows every day that any small action, interaction, or donation can make a difference. His devotion and selflessness is a part of a larger group that supports the less fortunate, honestly; he is an inspiration to me and why I am honoured to run for LPP once again.

The aim of LPP is to be a city-focused, city-change charity by providing projects such as Street Chaplaincy, Homeless Health Hub, Emergency Night Shelters, and Peer Support.

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 the last 3 years, over 1000+ different people were supported at The Garden House with a total of 13,879 support activities.
