THE LIGHTHOUSE FOUNDATION

The objects of the lighthouse foundation are to offer a structured supported living program "the apprenticship for life" for those affected by substance mis-use and educational detached work in schools and the local community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
