Paul Logan

Paul first came to know about Light Project Peterborough as a service user to the Garden House just after it opened in October 2018. Paul grew up in Peterborough, has been homeless and has suffered life threatening illness. He brings a ‘lived experience’ to the board of trustees.

Paul tells us “An amazing team of both staff and volunteers helped me find peace, faith in others and hope in rebuilding my life from the ground up. By February 2019, I was asked to volunteer at the Garden House, which was such a turning point in my life, being given a chance to help others was such a massive boost to my self worth and confidence. I love Light Project Peterborough enormously, the staff and volunteers I got to work with daily changed my life completely. I am now so honoured to be helping others as a trustee, God bless you all.”
