Clear information. Practical support. A place to begin.
Forelight exists to help people navigate life’s more difficult chapters — and one of the most meaningful ways we do that is by sharing trusted information and guidance. This is our library of themed resources and guidance: a growing collection of articles, signposting and lived-experience resources, designed to help you understand what’s happening, what your options are, and where to go next.
This space is for anyone who is struggling, supporting someone else, or simply looking to feel more connected. We hope it becomes a useful companion on your journey — wherever you’re starting from.
Explore Our Themes
We’ve grouped our content into key themes that reflect the challenges many people face across the UK. Each theme links to a dedicated page where you can explore helpful articles, learn more about the issue, and find organisations that can support you.
- Mental Health – Understanding your emotions, finding support for anxiety, depression, trauma and more.
- Physical Health – Living with long-term conditions, disability support, accessing care.
- Money & Work – Financial stress, benefits, job insecurity, or looking for a fresh start.
- Home & Safety – Housing challenges, homelessness, or needing help to feel safe at home.
- Family & Care – Parenting, caring, relationships, and intergenerational support.
- Community & Identity – Loneliness, belonging, marginalisation and finding your place.
- Life Events & Loss – Bereavement, break-ups, changes and transitions in life.
- Rights & Advocacy – Knowing your rights, legal help, access to justice, and being heard.
How to Use This Library
Each theme page acts as a cornerstone for deeper content across the site. From there, you can:
- Read practical, plain-English explainers and insights
- Explore articles based on real experiences
- Find local and national organisations that offer support
- Use the links to discover related topics and tools
Everything is designed to be human-first: easy to read, sensitive to your situation, and rooted in the real-world experiences of those who’ve been there.
