Calderdale Lighthouse :- A beacon of hope for families in need

We supply vulnerable and disadvantaged families throughout Calderdale and surrounding areas, with great quality baby equipment and essentials items.
Clothing and shoes for newborns to teens, bedding, toys and books. We also send toiletries out to schools.. These packs promote good hygiene habits, also hopefully reducing bullying and absenteeism.
We would normally be fundraising constantly through raffles and tombola's. Funds from these activities usually help us buy new safety equipment.
We also buy new mattresses for moses baskets, cots and cot beds. This is following government guidelines, that recommends each child should have a new mattress, for safe sleeping .

Why the community needs us
Our service eases the worries of parents/carers to provide certain items for their family.
We hope this will improve families emotional well being, and feelings of self worth.
We are exclusively powered by volunteers. We have 10 volunteers that work tirelessly in our unit.
The general public donate preloved goods to us.
Our service is free to use. It is accessed through a third party referral system from professional practitioners and agencies. This ensures our help goes to the families in immediate need.
We are also reducing the amount of pre loved goods that would otherwise go to land fill.

Our impact on the community
We have completed over 1000 referrals which equates to nearly 3000 family members in just 2 years.
We would be delighted if you could donate to our cause. Either as a one off payment or as a regular monthly direct debit.

Thank you so much for your support, as always. from all at Calderdale Lighthouse and the families we hope to help.
