Our mission is to see transformation from isolation to belonging.

The Lighthouse Attleborough was founded in 2007 by Christ Community Church to provide a place of belonging and purpose for individuals in our local community and surrounding villages.

Living in a rural area can often lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, and we recognized the need for a space where people could connect, find support, and discover a deeper sense of community.

Our mission is to ensure that no one feels alone or disconnected in a world that is increasingly digitally connected but emotionally distant. Over the years, The Lighthouse Attleborough has developed seven key groups that continue to help many find their place and purpose:

In 2023, we were proud to help 616 people find community through these groups. Testimonials from those in our community reflect the positive impact of our programs, with one parent noting how the Ignite Youth Project became the highlight of their child’s week, and another senior couple sharing how Treasures helped them regain confidence and make new friends after a long period of isolation.

At The Lighthouse Attleborough, we are dedicated to treating everyone with dignity, respect, and unwavering support. We encourage you to explore our groups, connect with us, and begin your journey towards finding community, belonging, and purpose. We’re excited to welcome you.
