A brilliant time at Tiglin The Lighthouse homeless cafe. Dublin Ukulele Collective provided excellent entertainment for our homeless clients on such a freezing ❄️🌨️ evening.

The busiest night to date at Tiglin homeless cafe last night with just under 500 individuals in need of our service.
A lot of new faces from the Middle East and Africa. Once again we had to close our doors due to the overwhelming numbers.

A beautiful evening at Tiglin The Lighthouse last night. A fresh and nutritious beef curry 🍛 made by Nico Reynolds @nicoderey @lilportie.

The Lighthouse is indeed 'a living room for those in need of one'.

Great to have TV chef “Nico Reynolds” cooking for our guests this week at The Light House Homeless Service cafe. The Tiglin manager Allen Bobinac and team really pulled out the stops this week to provide our homeless friends with best music, craic, and food 👌. #makingadifferencetogether

An amazing celebration of one year of the Friday Night Cinema at Tiglin homeless café.
We had red carpet, movie bingo, costumes, amazing food and the movie.

Great to have visitors from Irish Film Institute, South East Technological University, and Spirit Radio see this unique approach to homelessness.

It was amazing to have the guest chef Randy Lewis at Tiglin - The Lighthouse homeless cafe cook his signature chicken curry for our clients.
You can find Randy at his restaurant called Randaddys Restaurant in Lahinch, Co. Clare or catch his cooking show on RTÉ One.

A phenomenal evening at Tiglin homeless café this evening. Sandymount Gospel Choir came for a visit and performed for our homeless clients!

A big thank you to the choir's director Cathy and the 20 choristers.

It was a pleasure for my brother Jay Bobinac and I to take part in a human library event with IADT Dún Laoghaire where humans are read as books.
We hope our story has a positive affect for conversations that can challenge stereotypes.

Absolutely terrific to have Sean M Kelly Sean M Kelly play bagpipes for our homeless clients last night.
The Lighthouse is a cultural melting pot and it was amazing to have Scottish culture showcased.

A pleasure for Aubrey McCarthy, myself and our friends from Betania Church Dublin to show the Romanian Ambassador to Ireland, HE Laurențiu-Mihai Ștefan the Tiglin at the Lighthouse homeless cafe.
His recognition only solidifies the excellent work being done.

During yesterday's Tiglin Graduation Ceremony seven of our refugee volunteers were awarded with a Volunteer Award for all their hard work.
It was great to have Wendy from the Irish Refugee Council on stage to present the award alongside Aubrey McCarthy and myself.

Absolutely brilliant night Tiglin with the amazing 'celebrity chef' Nico Reynolds. Nico prepared a top quality Chilli con Carne and coleslaw for over 300 of our homeless clients.
