Giving you hope when you need it most

We’re making some changes to our online support services. In the meantime we’re still here to help anyway we can.

Helping vulnerable and marginalised people build a more secure future.

Since 1983, The Lantern Trust has supported people through homelessness, hardship and personal crisis. We provide practical and emotional support, building trusted relationships that empower people to make positive, lasting changes in their lives.

Support for whatever you’re facing.

From housing and benefits to mental health and everyday challenges, our team is here to listen, understand and help you find the right support.

Homeless Support

Help if you’re homeless, at risk of homelessness or unsure what to do next.

Practical advice to help you access the benefits and financial support you’re entitled to.

Early, person-centred support with mental health, housing, finances, work and wellbeing.

Help finding and maintaining a safe, stable home, with support tailored to you.

A safe, supportive space to improve your wellbeing, independence and recovery.

Someone to listen and support you when life feels difficult or overwhelming.

Flexible, practical support with everyday challenges, available when you need it.

We believe every person should be given the opportunity to be heard.

We’re a single point of contact for all support services – so, no more running from pillar to post looking for the right kind of help.
