Testimonials

“The Lighthouse Support Centre is a vital resource in Tillydrone. We need the support of the Lighthouse to ensure there is maximum impact when working with the families out with the school setting in order to change lives for the better. The Lighthouse support workers meet with parents to offer practical, financial and emotional support. They also attend GIRFEC meetings as a support to the parents at these

• meetings. The Lighthouse are always available to provide practical help to families also such as clothes, food, access to furniture, housing,

finance, advocacy and form filling. The school staff know that any urgent support, is available with only a phone call away! The Lighthouse football team is well attended by a number of Riverbank pupils which they enjoy; boosting positive health and wellbeing. The TLG workers have been a fantastic resource to the school in working with some of our most vulnerable pupils with low confidence and self-esteem. The staff at the Lighthouse are always kind, caring, helpful, approachable and well thought of in the school community. The Lighthouse is at the heart of the community and a vital partner of Riverbank school. What an amazing resource to have on our door step! We are so thankful for all their on-going hard work.” Sarah Dunley, Deputy Head Teacher, Riverbank Primary School, Tillydrone “There is no question in my mind the impact Lighthouse has on the overarching prevent agenda which from my perspective contributes to safer communities. I fully support their application as the Lighthouse seeks to expand the range of services it offers to support the community in Tillydrone and indeed the wider City of Aberdeen.” Campbell Thomson, Chief Superintendent, North East Division, Police Scotland “The Lighthouse works in Tillydrone, an area of our city that has some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable in its community. By working in partnership with other agencies, their work is intelligence led, targeted and evidentially effective. We would wholeheartedly support the asset transfer of the library and family centre to The Lighthouse.” Ray Riddoch OBE, Managing Director UK & Sr. VP Europe and Africa, CNOOC International “The Lighthouse Support Centre does fantastic work in supporting vulnerable people and disadvantaged groups in Aberdeen. I have seen first-hand the lasting impact the support has on individuals and the vital role it plays in communities here in the city.” Kevin Stewart MSP, Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning

Testimonials

“The Lighthouse helped me get work experience during 4th year to see what working as a joiner is all about. It was a real learning curve and helped me see what real work looks like.” “When I first came to the Lighthouse I was on drugs and needed food. Now I’m clean, have stopped smoking and am working full time. I couldn’t have done it without them.” “Thank you so much for everything you do for me and my kids. We nearly left Tillydrone but decided to stay because of all the support and love we have at the Lighthouse” “One of the reasons I go, is because it helps me feel part of something bigger where I am welcome and my kids too.“ “It was the best Christmas me and my family have ever had. It helped me so much as I’d been up through the night on Christmas Eve feeling so low.” “Our family loved the weekend away, all the activities, the freedom the kids have to play outdoors, the great meals and great company.”
