We have recently opened our first children’s home in Sutton, south west London. The huge amount of care and thought that went into the design and build process is reflected in the look and feel of the home.
Over the past year, the word home has come to mean a lot more than it did before the pandemic. For children in children’s homes, the state of being and belonging that we all expect from being at home can be elusive. It’s not just the physical building that makes something institutional. It’s also the relationships between the people that are there.
At Lighthouse, we recognise that there are some key issues in the residential care sector. We are setting up our first children’s home to overcome these hurdles, and give children in our care the best shot possible. We believe there is a different way to run children’s homes, which will lead to better outcomes.
