ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activltles
Educatlon
Lighthouse College
Lighthouse on The Marsh (LOTM) delivers its education programme for young people (aged 16 - 18 or 19
24 with and EHCP) through 'Llghthouse College,. It is recognised as an early adopter of a Trauma Informed
Approach (TIA) to education delivery and is a deslgnated Specialist Post-16 Institutlon under Section 41 of
the Children and Families Act. Attendees require specific support relating to trauma, social and emotional
difficulties and mental health challenges with associated needs. Core funding for education delivery is
through the DfE and additionally through KCC who continue to recognise and support the crucial work that is
belng dellvered by the College with increased funding through commlssloned places and higher needs
fundlng.
The Young People who enrol on the programme have previously become dlsengaged from mainstream
educatlon and so face slgnlflcant obstacles to progressing in life through existing systems due to the layers of
need that have not been addressed. Many come from the hardest to reach and most vulnerable parts of the
community.
The curriculum design, leaming environment and specialist staff combine to create an
ecosystem that supports personal growth, acceptance and space to explore the future as a positive outcome.
Dellvery Is focussed on provldlng life and work skills through mentoring, counselling, speclallst Interventions,
workshops and actlvlties including work placements and transition to progression support; maths and English
sessions aim to give students the skills necessary for the real world as well as to gain GCSE or Functional
Skllls quallflcatlons.
In the 2023 - 2024 academic year, the college engaged with 25 learners from the Romney Marsh and wider
Folkestone and Hythe, and Ashford districts. Learners achieved qualifications in English and maths and made
progress towards personal goals wlth the majorlty enterlng further education, training or employment.
Ughthouse College Students have said:
"I feel safe here as the staff are nice to me. I feel better here because at my previous school there wa5 $0
much pressure on me, and I felt unheard. I would recommend this college because it's a nice environment.
'The staff actually get to know you and listen, whereas other colleges and schools just teach. I p￿fer it here
over other colleges. I love the dogs and all the staff. It is a great Pla￿ to learn but also socialise.
"I've galned more confldence here and I feel as If I've also galned some life skills. I love the stsff for helping
me out as much as they can and pushing me to my full potential. Some of my friends struggle with everyday
school Ilfe and they would progress if they were here.
"I feel safe in this college because everyone is nice and caring and also trustworthy"
"Llghthouse College has boosted my soclal confldence and made me meet some very sweet people and be
hopeful for my futu￿. I feel supported. I'm starting to accept and find myself more.
Post-16 Wrap-around
A Crucial part of our work with the young people at the college is the extra-curricular wrap around care and
clubs. These include games, breakfast, cookeryi art and gardenlng and represent both an opportunity for the
young people to learn vital life skills and a chance to partlcipate in fun therapeutic activities with a caringi
attentlve and trauma informed team. Activities are used as a way to model healthy behavlour5 and
relationships and as a time to talk with the young.people about the things that they are struggling with or
that mlght be troubllng them. It also increases the amount of time that the young people are in our care;
safe, warm and with their basic needs met.
'I look forward to ACE every week, we often do a wide variety of creative subjects such as pencll, palnts and
chalks, we also explore creative thinking"

REPORT OF THE TRusfEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31sr JULY 2024
Counselling
Fifteen hours of counselling is made available per week for young people and is utilised for both one to one
and group work. The impact of this work is very significant and can be transfomiative in the life of a young
person who may otherwise feel that their Vol￿ should not be heard, that their struggle and pain is
unimportant and that the￿ is no hope of making any changes through their own actions or understanding of
their mental health. Understanding and organising thoughts is critical to development; counselling offers the
space to explore these things and develop tools to sustain the practise into adulthood and supports positive
outcomes in education and employment.
SEND Service
Our SENO Service is a one stop shop for parents, carers, family members and professionals to go to gain a
better understanding of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) through information, advi￿ and
guidance, and to receive support through advocacy and mediation services where applicable. In the last
twelve month5, the service has helped over 300 families through one to one support and peer groups.
In
response to identified themes of need we set up 3 support groups and a stand alone drop in service to allow
families to come together to discuss challenges, meet with experts and share solutions as well as to reduce
the sense of isolation that so many of our clients feel Support groups for parents have covered topics such
as: Violent and Challenging Behaviour, Special Guardianship Orders, Eating disorders, and Hearing
Impaimient.
The team have had contart with over 20 schools in the Marsh, Folkestone and Ashftjrd areas and worked with
and had referrals from Early Helpi Social se￿iCe$, Ashford Rural PCN, and Lenworth Clinic as well a5 a
number of schools.
Parents have said:
"l just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for your time and expert advlce. l am so much better informed
now and we have a much clearer idea of what we need to do to get our chlld the support he needs. Your
support Is very much app￿CIated.
'It is refreshing to speak to someone who gets It. Thank you so much for talking to me. It means such a lot.
Thank you for all your help and for helping all those parents out there."
"Your recommendatlons are really clear and useful and you have provided me with good points to consider
that I had not prevlously. This has really helped to decrease my "overwhelm" and create a focus for moving
fornard."
The Re-set Programme
The Re-set Programme was launched in September 2022 to address the large number of challenges to adult
mental and physical wellbeing that were identified locally. The Programme's naissance and design was
inspired by the organisational leaming derived from almost fifteen years of delivering specialist education
provision for young people living with social, emotional and mental health challenges which, in the main,
sult from the experience of Adverse Childhood Experien￿ (ACES).
Re-set is designed with the
understanding that a vast number of adults carry the unprocessed trauma of their childhood with them into
later life, to the detriment of their mental and physical health, wellbeing, educational and socio-economic
outcomes. It combines psychoeducation with a menu of therapeutic activities to improve mind and body
health and wellbeing, for example: mindfvlness. arts & crafts, yoga, nature walks, animal connections,
healthy eating and nutrition and music.
The Re-set programme has developed to deliver bespoke course elements according to specific chronic
conditions and is currently partnering with The Paula CaTh Charitable Trust to create impactful interventions
for Type l and Type 2 diabetics and their familie5. The team have engaged the Se￿iCe$ of pertinent
clinicians to provide advice and guidan￿ to the clients who would not otherniise have contact with these vital
professlonals. It is too early to report quantitstive outcomes but the qualitative data clearly indicates the
value and benefit of this new service. LOTM and PCCT will continue to develop this service and reach more
diabetics in our community and provide Ilfe-lmproving interventions and support.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustee5 have decided that holding reserves is good practice with a target to build up £158,000 of
unrestricted funds (or 3 months running costs) over the course of the next 3 years. The amount of the total
funds held was £164,381 at the period end including restricted funds of £89,258 to fulfil ongoing projects.
The amount of unrestrirted reserves is £75,123 which is over I month of running costs. The Trustees are
confident of current funding levels being sustsinable and continue to monitor the level of reserves and
explore options to develop the charity in a way that is safe and meaningful.
The Trustees would like to acknowledge the generous support from all of our funders during the period, who
have all helped to make possible the vital ServI￿S that we deliver.. Barretts Charitable Foundation.
