About us
Light Project Peterborough is a small business in Peterborough, PE1 1YU.

We are in place to serve the city and those in need. The charity has strong links within and across the statutory, community, church and business sectors and has become a “go to” faith-based charity for leading systems change and delivering support and services to the poor, vulnerable and those in need. With visionary leadership and a strong board of trustees LPP will continue to aspire to expand its services and influence within the city to promote a reduction in poverty to those most in need. Where there is a need, we will endeavour to meet it either internally or by stimulating change or new growth..
