Emotional Support

When you’re finding it hard to get from one day to the next, The Lantern Trust can help.

Our service is free, courteous, and discreet; simply call today to find out how we can assist you.

How We Can Help

Various factors can have a negative impact on an individual’s emotional and mental well-being. Abuse, anger, bereavement, bullying, depression, and self-harm, to name a few — all of these things can prevent you from living life fully.

Our employees and volunteers have been trained to offer emotional support to each of our customers. Our team is available to listen, provide information, and offer feedback. They can assist you in making sense of your difficulties, discussing your options, and establishing a sense of control over your life. By speaking with us, you can get things off your chest, work through any issues, and let go of traumatic situations.

Adrian’s Story

I arrived at the Lanterns Safe Sleep project homeless and didn’t know what to do. I was able to see a GP for the first time in ages and felt respected and listened to. I moved onto a hostel they run and have started gardening again. I am now living in my own flat and have hope for the future

We couldn’t afford to pay the deposit needed for our flat. The Lantern offered help when we had no more options

Bill’s story

Life had hit the buffers. I was sleeping on a beach with nowhere to go. The Lantern listened, housed me, and I began to see a future for myself. I am now back fishing and love where I live as it’s like a community where we support each other

Dave’s Story

I didn’t need lots of support. I just needed a place where I could go where I could chat through my concerns and needed help with my benefits
