LIGHTHOUSE BURNHAM 

We provide a Christian holiday club for children in Burnham and the surrounding area, in conjunction with local churches of all denominations. We are run solely by volunteers and do not charge to attend. The children engage in activities such as drama, sport, craft, and teaching, which are delivered in ways which enhance understanding of the christian faith and its values.
