Empowering Women
DAY
Annual Report and Accounts 2023
CHAIR STATEMENT
This year, our theme honours the heroic resolve of women who choose empowerment over despair, and embrace hope anew each day. At Lighthouse, we salute these courageous individuals who courageously navigate life’s challenges with unwavering determination.
Every single moment carries the weight of bravery and resilience.
It also represents our enduring pledge to provide steadfast support to women and children confronting the challenges of being a single parent, single breadwinner, single home manager, single caregiver and the courageous paths they tread independently.
This past year, we have achieved significant milestones in enhancing our support services. Our newly introduced welcome package ensures a supportive intake process for new users, offering insights into their specific needs without intrusion. Additionally, our efforts in dating and relationship support have empowered eleven users to achieve independence—a testament to our commitment to comprehensive empowerment.
The global crisis of rising living costs continues to disproportionately affect single parents, constrained by sole incomes and limited work opportunities due to childcare responsibilities. Despite these challenges, we remain steadfast in providing consistent support through warm meals, essential provisions, and food vouchers, while actively pursuing sustainable financial independence.
Together, let us continue to champion gender justice, ensuring that every woman has a voice, every challenge is met with unity, and every step forward brings us closer to a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

OUR STORY
Lighthouse was founded in April 2010 to support the increasing number of divorced women and their children facing domestic abuse and hardship. Lighthouse aims to re-integrate and reinspire divorced women and their children, through health and parenting courses, vocational training, peer support, social welfare, group counselling, family respite breaks and ongoing family activities. Our aim is for these women to become selfsufficient and go on to build healthy relationships and stability in life. Lighthouse was founded by divorcees themselves, who found themselves in this unfortunate situation, and felt that something must be done to alleviate the stress of such families. Because all trustees and volunteers are from within the community, they fully understand the client needs. We are aware that there is no other organisation that serves our target audience, with their specific cultural and circumstantial need.
OUR VISION
REMOVE WOMEN FROM THEIR STATE OF VULNERABILITY AND TRAUMA TO REACH A PLACE OF SAFETY AND RESILIENCE.
OUR PROMISE
We pledge that any woman who joins Lighthouse will never again feel alone. With a wraparound support system of help in various areas, every issue can be put right.
OUR MISSION We are committed to providing support, stability and community for single women every day:

WHY LIGHTHOUSE? THE LIGHTHOUSE ADVANTAGE:
Founded by former divorcees
who know just what our members need and how to best support them
Led by users
to give all members an authentic and empowering experience
Holistic, whole-family approach because separation affects every member of the family
THE FIVE PILLARS OF SUPPORT
We have identified the five areas where families need support following a breakup:
In the wake of a family breakup, the need for understanding friends is crucial. Often, close family members may not fully grasp the complexities and challenges that arise. Women and children who have gone through separation need the support of others who have experienced similar situations and can truly empathise. To fulfil this need, Lighthouse provides:
Weekly support groups, offering a safe space for sharing experiences and healing together.
Community-building activities, creating a strong network of support for those navigating similar challenges.
Monthly clubs for children and teens, ensuring every family member can connect with peers who understand their experiences and form lasting relationships.
Impact: 100% shared feeling significant benefit from peer support.
97% shared reaching out to Lighthouse peers on a regular basis.
Initially hesitant and feeling isolated after a relationship breakup, I was encouraged by a friend to join a painting session. It was a pivotal moment for me, and now I actively engage and thrive within this supportive community. Through this journey, I found empowerment and built meaningful relationships with peers. This newfound validation strengthened my confidence and resilience.
Single motherhood demands double the effort, encompassing sole childcare responsibilities, domestic duties, a single paycheck, and the absence of an adult companion to share life with. Women living this life need a space to simply be, even if just for a couple of hours, to chat, eat, laugh, and enjoy the moment. To provide this much-needed respite, Lighthouse offers:
Monthly recreational activities such as music, painting, fitness, and crafting, allowing women to unwind and explore their creativity.
Respite trips designed to offer a temporary escape and an opportunity to recharge in a supportive environment
Impact
91% shared improved mental wellbeing.
89% shared coming home rejuvenated with renewed energy to go on.
“Balancing everything as a single mother is exhausting—between taking care of my kids, handling all the household chores, and managing our tight budget, I rarely have a moment for myself. Lighthouse has been a game-changer for me. The monthly activities have given me a chance to relax and rediscover my passions. The respite trips have provided a much-needed break, helping me return home feeling refreshed and more capable. I truly value the time and space I get to recharge, and it’s made a significant difference in how I approach my daily life.”
Money is always an issue for single mothers. Being tied down to childcare responsibilities limits the hours they can spend earning money. Single motherhood also costs more. Lighthouse offers:
Food vouchers and warm meals, providing access to nutritious food and alleviating financial pressure.
Toy drives, helping School supplies, mothers bring joy ensuring children have and comfort to their the necessary tools for children. their education.
Nadia, a Yemenite woman living in London with her two daughters, has no family. To manage her limited resources, her family has adopted a vegetarian diet. Living in such poverty that she often relies on charitable distributions for daily sustenance, Nadia struggles to keep food on the table. Our consistent food deliveries and vouchers ensure that she can feed herself and her children.
Impact: 1820 food parcels, 100s of food vouchers, 840 warm meals delivered. 80% shared less hunger. 76% shared increased access to proper meals.
Thank you, Hackney Council, for the Household Support Fund. Your contribution allows us to provide vital food vouchers during the holidays, ensuring families receive essential nourishment and support.”
Clothing and shoes, supplying families with essential items for everyday life and seasonal changes.
Creating a happy family environment even within a life where it is hard to identify oneself as a ‘family’ when it seems that it is no longer. Children from divorced parents need the stability of a home setting and a secure parent to maintain normalcy and routine. To help achieve this, Lighthouse offers:
Family parties, trips, and getaways, providing opportunities for families to connect and build joyful memories together.
Holiday packages, allowing families to enjoy special times together regardless of financial or logistical constraints.
Respite home stays, offering temporary relief and a supportive environment for families in need.
Individual grants for furniture, aiding in the creation of a comfortable and stable home environment for single parents and their children.
Impact: 97% shared improved family connection with their children. 92% shared feeling more confident to attend public events.
I was feeling so overwhelmed that I almost called social services to take my children. However, after joining the parenting course, I gained coping strategies that helped me manage my emotions and find guidance in challenging situations.

In 2023, 11 Lighthouse users left the organisation after establishing new healthy relationships
Women who have faced the breakup of their family are determined to build a better future for themselves and their children. Creating this future requires belief, hard work, and dedication to parenting, relationships, trauma recovery, and improving employment prospects. To assist in these endeavours, Lighthouse provides:
Parenting programs, offering tools and support to help women navigate the challenges of raising children on their own.
Relationship counseling and support, helping women heal and build healthy connections.

89% reported increased emotional resilience, 92% continued on to consistent therapeutic intervention.

Before joining the project, I had several inpatient experiences for my mental health issues. Since joining the support group, I haven’t required any further inpatient care, showcasing the program’s positive impact on my mental health stability. The guidance has empowered me to take control of my life from a level-headed perspective. Instead of reacting explosively, I’ve learned to make positive changes and handle challenges constructively.

LIGHTHOUSE - SUPPORTING WOMEN THROUGH STORMY TIMES Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2023
1. General information
Lighthouse - Supporting Wormen Through Stormy Times is a registered charity and is governed by aTrust Deed dated 19 February 2009.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Lighthouse - Supporting Women Through Stormy Times meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
2.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in
settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity’s objectives, as well as any associated support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.4 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account
2.5 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
2.6 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
