Welcome to Leading Light

Thanks for joining us

We are passionate about giving everyone a chance of living a happy, fulfilling life. With 1 in 4 people suffering with depression at some point in their lives and roughly 1 in 10 feeling so socially anxious that they cannot bear facing up to situations that most take for granted.

Empowering people

Leading Light offers help, support and guidance for people suffering with the effects of social anxiety, depression and related issues through various workshops, events, advice and many other avenues. We are all about you, so if there is something you’d like to see at a Leading Light event, please do let us know. Leading Light is a Social Enterprise therefore our main aim is the people, not profit.

What is Social Anxiety?

Many people experience different forms of anxiety in social situations, from fears of public speaking to dread of meeting new people, job interviews, dating, speaking on the phone, meetings at work, or worrying about showing physical signs of nervousness.

What is Depression?

Depression is often an illness. If you’re depressed, the usual feelings of sadness that we all experience temporarily remain for weeks, months and years. They can be so intense that daily life is affected. You can’t work normally, you don’t want to be with your family and friends, and you stop enjoying the things you usually do.
