At Lighthouse, we believe that children growing up in residential care should go on to achieve great things and lead fulfilling lives. We believe that social pedagogy, a focus on education, people and place is the best approach to supporting young people.
We are delighted to invite you to our event ‘Introducing Lighthouse: a new approach to children’s homes’ on Monday 12 October from 2-3.30pm, where you can find out more.
