The wide variety of projects at The Lighthouse are only made possible though the partnership, collaboration, support, funding and engagement of many organisations, charities, churches, groups, businesses and individuals. Find out more below.
Our Partners
Many of our projects are run by volunteers, but this sometimes also requires infrastructure and support from various charities, organisations, and churches. Here are some examples:
Woking Foodbank operates as part of the Trussell Trust network of food banks. The Lighthouse works in partnership with other local churches and organisations.

Companies like Just Cards Direct provide us with donated resources.
