Councillor Chris Furlong visited the charity keen to find out more about the situation, the things they do and how they are getting along with relocation.

A spokesperson for the charity said: "He was greatly encouraged by what he saw and after a tour of the Lighthouse understood the scale of challenge faced in finding somewhere big enough and suitable enough to move into, and the need for our work to be supported to do so.

"It was suggested that we start a petition to rally support for our cause and our situation, so we have done this, currently as an online form, but hard copies will be circulated too. If you want to show your support for Inspire Middleton, the Lighthouse Project, Middleton Central Foodbank, and Middleton Dial then please follow this link and sign our ipetition.
