The Lighthouse Renovation
Over a period of six months, Story Contracting partnered with sister company, Story Homes, plus a number of subcontractors to renovate the Carlisle Eden Mind Lighthouse.
Mind
Carlisle, Cumbria
Doing it right
The Lighthouse renovations include; a new fully fitted kitchen and appliances, new carpets and flooring, a new boiler, new sanitary ware and much more, as well as labour time throughout the duration of the project.
Those involved in the renovations were invited to a re-launch event where they visited the newly refurbished Lighthouse and chatted to some of the volunteers who work there.
Charity partner
Staff from Carlisle Eden Mind were also presented with a cheque for £3,000 as a result of fundraising by both Story Contracting and Story Homes.
The renovations to the Lighthouse are part of a two year charity partnership between Story Contracting and Mind and SAMH. To date Story have raised over £9,000 for the two charities.

For those with lived experience of mental health and anyone experiencing a mental health crisis, the world can be a very lonely and scary place, and our new and improved Lighthouse building will ensure that visitors have a warm, safe place to come where they can be listened to and supported with respect and without judgement.Tara Quinn, Chief Executive Officer
