ABOUT HACKNEY CHURCH

Hackney Church is a stunning Grade II* listed church built in 1792 on the foundation of an existing church dating back to 1275. Our vision is to play our part in seeing a renaissance: restoring lives, revitalising churches and renewing culture.

THE LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT

The Lighthouse Project is a social outreach charity run by Hackney Church that serves the most vulnerable across East London. We provide practical holistic support to our guests, helping in crisis and pointing towards a hope-filled future.

We’ve been feeding, loving and caring for the poor and marginalised in East London since 2016 and since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic we have fed over 140,000 meals. As part of your ticket purchase there is an opportunity to donate to this important work. With you help we can continue to support those most in need.
