Is this not the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of the wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thy bring the poor that are cast out into thy house? When thou seest the naked, that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Isaiah 58:6&7.

Living Rivers Lighthouse Hostel 24/7 has been in operation since January 2002. It opened as an eleven bedded facility, providing supported accommodation for homeless men, with a team of seven paid staff plus volunteers. Now, three years on we can provide supported accommodation for up to 20 men, with high support needs and we have a team of 16 paid staff plus volunteers.

We provide support through:

• A 'Key Working' system - each client has his own key worker, who is there to encourage, challenge and assist him in progressing towards a healthy independent lifestyle.
• Acting as a signposting agency and networking with other agencies to ensure the client is receiving the expertise they deserve.
• Creating training opportunities.

Funding

We recieve funding from various state sources (PBNI, NIDAST, CHNI), private charitable donations and Living Rivers Ministries. If you feel led to support this valuable ministry please contact us. We appreciate all who help support this work.
