WHO WE ARE 

Based in a refurbished former Gaumont cinema in high-deprivation North Liverpool, we are a registered charity working with our local community to create thriving communities of people living more fulfilled lives.

As an Arts and Community centre, we use engagement with the arts to improve people's wellbeing, so they can go on to develop the skills they need to meet their aspirations. 

 

Our projects provide the local community and vulnerable groups with opportunities to develop skills, create and experience arts and culture and to connect with others, integrated with practical support for people in crisis or who need a helping hand.

OUR AIM 

Liverpool Lighthouse aims to be a Creative Sanctuary, offering our local communities, vulnerable people, artists and young people a creative, safe space to develop skills and wellbeing. 

​

Our programmes tackle the root causes of social disadvantage, creating long-term, transformational change in our community and our city. 

​

HEALTH & WELLBEING

To improve health and wellbeing we provide a safe, creative space in the community where people can come to access practical support and a range of services. Alongside practical support, we offer arts-based programmes that provide social connection, the chance to build confidence and self-esteem and practical skills that help people to improve their mental and physical health and make progress towards their goals.

Before I started coming to Lighthouse, I was lonely. I was just doing nothing and I felt desperate, I had no passion for life. The area I lived in was all English people and I didn’t have any friends. Once I started coming, I would wake up full of energy, I would go to the Lighthouse, it was amazing, my life changed completely.

Anfield and the surrounding area has been identified as a 'Arts poor' zone. Being in the heart of Liverpool, a city with a rich history of Arts and Culture, we feel a responsibility to bring back the arts to the community around us. 

 

We believe that great art and culture simply makes life richer, and everyone should be able to experience and participate in it.​

​

Our artists' initiative is providing space, resources and support for artists looking to develop new creative work and share it with the local North Liverpool community.
