The Lighthouse Learning Project runs an activity club for home educated children two days a week, with three facilitators overseeing the project. The club has been running from a forest garden in Cardigan.During the financial year the Lighthouse Learning Project has benefited the community in the following ways:- 14 children from 13 families from the counties of Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire have benefited from the provisionof a wide variety of arts, crafts and sporting activities otherwise hard to access within a home education setting.- Stimulating and interesting part time work was provided for three facilitators as part of the project. The Lighthouse Learning Project provides relevant training to the facilitators (eg first aid, conflict management,) which increases their skills, both when working at the club and in the wider community.- Additional occasional paid work was provided for a range of local people, who have the opportunity to offer workshops andsessions at the club.- With the support of the facilitators the children have created a sense of community within the group. They benefit from a sense of belonging which increases wellbeing.- Using tools such as sociocracy and non-violent communication, the children are learning to make collective decisions about what they want to do at the club, manage budgets, organise activities and resolve disputes with care for one another. These skills will serve them well as they move into adulthood, and benefit the communities that they live and work in.- Families benefited by being a part of a network of support, which has been especially valuable during the challenges that successive lockdowns and covid restrictions have brought.The directors are recording the process of running the activity club and are creating a series of policies and related documents. This enables the effective running of the project and provides a valuable resource to share with the local community. One open day has been held, as well as several meetings and communications with interested parties. This benefits the local community as we are able to share our work with other families and groups who want to set up similar projects, saving them time and effort and enabling the benefits to reach more families.
The stakeholders are the families involved with the activity club and the facilitators working for the project.The facilitators meet regularly with the directors to discuss both the day to day running of the project and how it meets the overallaims of the company. There is a minimum of one face to face meeting every six weeks that the project is running, plus additionalmeetings and communication via electronic means as necessary.The children involved in the activity club have a daily meeting. They can also speak with facilitators at any time about ideas orconcerns. This information is acted on by facilitators or fed back to the directors at staff meetings and action is taken as necessarye.g. organising workshopsFamilies receive a weekly email updating them on activities at the club. They are offered the opportunity to raise questions andconcerns with facilitators, which are discussed with directors and action taken as necessary.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £5,319.
