Enabling the community to thrive

Transforming Lives

The Lamp plays a vital role in supporting the community in East Lothian on their journey to learn new skills. Alongside the economic benefits, it reduces loneliness and makes people happier, healthier, more confident, capable and resilient. Put simply, learning and skills transform people's lives. Education is not just about what goes on in the classroom. It is about having the ability to support the community to develop wider outcomes for their own personal lives which, in turn, support and have an impact on their local communities, local businesses, and therefore the local economy.

What You're Saying

The wonderful buildings made available to us by the Lamp enable us to provide classes and self-help groups in a wide range of arts and crafts subjects in a way which enables our members to develop at their own pace and provides greatly valued social interaction as well as learning. Without the Lamp's support PACC would struggle to recreate the unique atmosphere of the classes in these historic buildings which provide inspiration for many of our members.
