It is with the deepest regret and sadness that we have to announce that FirstLight Trust has ceased trading.

FirstLight Trust has instructed Lucas Ross Limited to assist in placing the charity into liquidation and all enquiries should be directed to 0161 509 5095 or [email protected]

Thank you all for your extraordinary support over the years we operated; there are many thousands of lives which have been touched by the work you enabled us to carry out. 'Thank you' simply does not do your support justice.

Miss Hull and Elson Heroes put together an fantastic services for all the school, the afternoon was spent together remembering those who are no longer with us and thanking those who are still currently servicing. Veteran Alan loved his giant poppy the children had made him.

The connection this group have is just wonderful to see and we look forward to our Christmas decorating session at the hub in a couple of weeks.
