I’ve just started work, and it is thanks to the Lighthouse Project and their good work and helping me with my job searching.
A Big thank you.

There is a selection of good things in the courses to help people do things and to help build up confidence. The staff and volunteers are very helpful and support us with CVs, job advice and different courses.
The textile ‘Spin a Yarn’ course has been a very productive session with helpful staff.To everybody who comes to the Lighthouse Project the enjoyment received was excellent and learning screen printing was a godsend to me and the others in the class.
All the staff help with computers.

The Lighthouse Project over the years has offered us all ample opportunity regarding bettering ourselves, whether this be looking for work, learning about computers or computer courses in general!
I know that I might not be where I am now regarding finding my choice of work as I was pointed in the right direction by one of the many friendly, excellent volunteers and staff, who freely give their time and never question anything or anyone whilst giving their knowledge and help to us all.
So a BIG thank you to every one of them from us all!
And lastly here is to the Lighthouse Project, carrying on from strength to strength for many more years to come.

I joined the Middleton Photography group about 18 months ago and have really enjoyed the times I have spent with the group. I have learned how to use a digital camera on manual settings etc, and have taken some good pictures on our outings and whilst at the club. We have also learnt about Photoshop.
The Lighthouse Project is a fantastic place with lovely people. I feel that more could be done to advertise the place to reach more people as I didn’t find out about it until I retired from work.
I wish the project much success and hope it keeps going for many years.

The Lighthouse Project is a lovely environment, staff and team are very friendly and caring. I settled in very well when I did my health and social care work experience placement.
All the service users are treated with respect and are provided with care and support that meets up to their needs.
I will definitely come again!! I surely enjoyed my stay. Thank you – Merville L – Jan 2015

I became unemployed for the first time in my life in August of last year due to redundancy. I have worked for over 37 years so this was a very daunting experience for me.
Carl, Carole, Liz and all the staff at the Lighthouse Project gave me confidence through the weekly workshops they run to apply for jobs.
I picked up new computer skills which otherwise would not have been possible. I’m now back in work.
Just to say a big thank you for all the kindness you showed me and keep up the good work helping the communities of Middleton and Rochdale.

I have been helped with my CV, cover letter and various job applications which I would otherwise have had trouble with doing on my own.
For this and for use of the computers and facilities at the Lighthouse Project I am very grateful.
This is a fantastic charity, Middleton is very fortunate to have the Lighthouse Project.
Gail L – Oct 2014
Thank you so much to everyone for the help that you gave me at the Lighthouse Project just when I needed it, and for the use of the facilities to help me keep looking for work.
I’ve now found a job and want to thank you for your support.

I came to the Lighthouse Project to use the computers and for searching for work. Whenever I needed help with job searching I always asked one of the volunteers or team members and they were always there. My CV was not that good when I first came but they helped me with some changes. I kept up with my job searching and after a while I was invited for a job interview. Before I went for my interview one of the volunteers helped me to prepare by giving me a mock interview. When I went for the actual interview I passed it and now I have a job as a support worker in a nursing home. Thank you Lighthouse for all your help. Lauren M – Aug 2013
I could not work a computer until I came to the Lighthouse Project, the staff are very good and help you to learn how to use a computer. I am now very happy because I have started doing my own job searches, sending CV’s, etc. which I could not do before. I now want to learn a lot more. Thanks to the staff here. Nino – June 2014

The Lighthouse Project has been an inspiration to me, I have been out of work since last September and they have helped me immensely putting a CV together and cover letter to apply for job vacancies. Also I have been involved in many courses they advertise on a weekly basis and two that stand out for me are the Feel More Positive self-confidence course, and the Online Basics computer course; for me they were a must and have helped build my confidence up again. If it wasn’t for the Lighthouse Project I don’t know what I would be doing right now. Friendly caring people who make you feel welcome any time in a relaxed environment. Michelle G – April 2014
I have only praise to say about the Lighthouse Project. when I first attended I could not even work a computer, but with guidance and training from the staff and volunteers I have now learnt to use a computer. With my new skills I have been able to look for jobs, send emails, cut and paste and search the internet for information. If I have problems, I know that I can depend on the help and support of the staff and volunteers to find a solution. As a result I am now back in work! David P – April 2014

I like visiting the Lighthouse because of the friendly atmosphere and community spirit, and also because of the other things going on such as the model railway club, art and craft sessions, plus the leather craft activity. – Steven C – Sept 2013
I think that the Lighthouse Project is good, and very effective in helping people in the community. The staff and volunteers offer a really good welcome, they are friendly and also work hard to provide help for people of different backgrounds. Jesuel S – Oct 2013
The Lighthouse Project has helped me very well. I can use the computers with a little help from the staff. I have now got a job amd I was only on the JSA for 16 weeks. I applied for a lot of jobs, and the last one I got an interview for I got the job. The staff our lovely, very helpful in every way. I have told different friends I know to come and look for work at the Lighthouse Project. Well all I want to say is a BIG thank you to Pam and Carole and Liz for the help they gave me when I was looking for work. I feel more happy in myself, thanks again to the staff.
