Light

Project LIGHT is a student-led, pro bono initiative committed to supporting vulnerable individuals affected by homelessness, addressing both immediate needs and longer-term challenges through volunteering, legal support, and community outreach.

Volunteers work closely with local organisations, including Action Homeless, The Bridge, and The Y Support Project, assisting with food kitchens, support groups, and other community services. In partnership with the School of Medicine, the project carries out shared training sessions and joint activities.
 

The resource team takes a hands-on approach, delivering legal presentations to local groups and producing educational content for social media and in-person events to raise public awareness of homelessness. The team also publishes regular blog posts exploring issues related to homelessness and the project's ongoing work.
 

Throughout the year, the project organises donation collections and other fundraising initiatives at major law society events, with proceeds directed to local charities.
 

Ultimately, our priority is to ensure that individuals experiencing homelessness have equal access to support and are aware of their rights, to help them move forward when facing difficult circumstances.
