1 - The Lighthouse Centre offers regular twice weekly hot food and food parcels, during the Covid-19 crisis and recovery, with support for those living on the edge of society, sometimes ex-offenders with complex, chaotic lives and those suffering severe mental health disorders and often with alcohol and drug addictions. 2 – The project will continue to deliver - regular weekly, hot cooked food, and food parcels; clothes; shower facilities; emotional support; advice; sign posting and counselling for the homeless and those suffering with addictions and mental health disorders, causing social isolation. (In addition, due recent demand, we are expanding our services to include translation/interpreter support and English as a second language tuition). 3 – The grant will pay for - Food provisions, toiletries, shower and laundry supplies, plus overnight emergency accommodation, managing staff and volunteers including resources to deliver on-site translator/interpreter support and English as a second language tuition. 4 - The most significant difference will be the opportunity to continue our service during the Covid-19 recovery phase as the individuals accessing the current support struggle to engage with other agencies under normal circumstances; hence the project will allow us to continue supporting the needs of the most niche group of socially excluded people on the edge of society, promoting mental health, wellbeing and ultimately save lives. 5 - not applicable

TLC aims to provide free monthly Seaside Funday opportunities for individuals and communities facing health inequalities, living in poverty, experiencing homelessness, adverse mental health conditions, unemployment, wellbeing concerns, loneliness, isolation, refugees, asylum seekers and ethnic minority communities. The project supports groups and individuals to visit seaside destinations particularly in the northwest region of the UK, including West Kirby, New Brighton and Blackpool. For many of these individuals these visits are their first fun activity on a beach in the UK. The funding will pay for support staff cost, travel cost, activities including bike riding along the coast, funfair rides or adventure golf. Also cost of a meal for each individual, like fish and chips and ice creams. We also take lots of photos and creating an album for each individual to keep. All the feedback received are overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the lasting impact and positive memories created on the days out. A quote from an asylum seeker individual summarised how enjoyable and impactful the Seaside Fun Days was: “Since being place in Crewe 18months ago, this is only my second time travelling out of Crewe” “I have never been on the beach before, this has been my best day”.

The Lighthouse Centre provide regular weekly, hot cooked food, and food parcels; clothes; shower facilities; emotional support; advice; sign posting and counselling for the homeless and those suffering with addictions and mental health disorders, causing social isolation. The grant will go towards the running costs of this service. The individuals accessing the current support will not engage with other agencies under normal circumstances; furthermore, the Covid-19 situation affects their ability to salvage or scavenge for food from restaurant waste and food offered by the goodwill of passing people in the streets, parks, rail stations, bus stations and other usually populated public spaces causing their health to further deteriorate; they are becoming suicidal and some have already taken their own lives, therefore this work will help save lives.
