Lighthouse has policies in place that are updated annually or when relevant legislation changes
What's Our Story?
Bringing churches and communities together around children.
Lighthouse delivers a fun week-long non residential summer holiday programme for children of primary school age run by local churches working together, open to children of all backgrounds. It is run by volunteers from the age of 12 to 90 and is free to attend.
The children enjoy Craft, Drama, Sport, action songs, messy games, gunge and Discovery (teaching) sessions.

Safeguarding
As an organisation Lighthouse takes safeguarding of both the children that attend and all the volunteers extremely seriously. Each volunteer must provide two references and we run Enhanced DBS checks for volunteers over the age of 16 whose role involves direct contact with children. Every volunteer must attend Safeguarding Training.

How are we Doing?
We are so pleased to welcome so many children and volunteers to Lighthouse every year! We are limited mainly by the numbers of helpers we can attract so think about signing up for 2025 and tell your friends about us too!
