The Walter Lyon Trust is a charity established by Dr Walter Lyon in 1979.
Walter's vision was to provide accommodation and therapeutic services to people affected by addiction to drugs and/or alcohol in the Lancaster and Morecambe area.
Walter spent much of his career developing services in Lancaster for those addicted to drugs/alcohol and recovering from addiction, with particular focus on young people and those in adverse circumstances.
The Trust’s property, Walter Lyon House, continues to be used as supported housing for those recovering from addiction. The 14-bed property in Lancaster, which is currently let to Calico Housing Group and is operated by Acorn Recovery Projects, who provide supported housing to those in recovery from addiction.
The charity is committed to using some of their financial reserve to support local projects.

The ‘funding pot’ for this window is £10,000 and organisations can apply for a single amount of up to £4,000 each.
The charity expects to receive a high volume of applications so regret that not all submissions will be successful.
