Change Lives Through Sport

Support Integration through Learning

Donations to Lighthouse Relief help us provide vital services for refugees and asylum-seekers living in Greece. Our mission is to fill gaps in humanitarian protection for people seeking refuge. Our Sport & Safe Space project facilitates sports sessions through football, basketball, and volleyball for those living in some of the largest refugee camps in Europe. Our newest project, Integration Through Learning, assists refugees and asylum seekers access safe and sustainable employment, navigate complicated Greek systems which allow them to work, find health care and housing, and build work-related skills.

You can help Change Lives Through Sport, supporting our sports sessions at Ritsona and Corinth camps; and Support Integration Through Learning, by funding our employment and education activities in Corinth and Lavrio.

SUPPORT INTEGRATION THROUGH LEARNING

The Lighthouse Relief team works tirelessly in Greece to support some of the most vulnerable in society. Their sports programme provides respite and moments of joy to children and young people forced to live in awfully-provisioned, overpopulated camps far from important services and basic amenities. We're proud to call them a partner." - Rachel Strudwick, ForRefugees (partner and donor).
Lighthouse Relief is a genuinely remarkable organisation. From their extraordinary origin story as a volunteer-founded collective born in response to a massive humanitarian crisis to their nimble pivots amidst a rapidly changing context in Greece, Lighthouse Relief has demonstrated an ability to provide crucial support in many forms to people experiencing migration. The team navigates complexity in a way that maintains their ethos of compassion and service while maximising their effectiveness, despite the many obstacles the world has thrown their way.
