Innovative Post-16 SEND College | We empower people with the skills and confidence to move into paid employment
About us
➡️ Lighthouse Futures Trust is a specialist college and charity for young neurodivergent adults, aged 16-25, who experience diverse challenges and barriers. Our purpose is to prepare them to be independent in life and develop skills that enable them to enter the world of work. We do this by offering bespoke pathways that empower our students to build confidence, skills and knowledge – and ultimately, to thrive. 📊 15% of autistic adults and 5% of those with Learning Disabilities are in paid employment in the UK. We want to challenge the barriers Neurodivergent and Learning-Disabled people face in accessing paid work by raising the profile of the many benefits that having a neurodivergent workforce can bring to employers, to community and to society. Our pioneering programme includes college and work-based internships delivered in partnership with some incredible, inclusive employer hosts. ⭐️ We provide an innovative programme of activity including 1-1 support, group workshops & seminars, external speakers, company visits and work placements. We recruit and train specialist staff who are compassionate about their work and provide a truly person-centred approach to help unlock the hidden talents of each and every student. We are highly aspirational, encouraging our staff, students and employers to aim high so everyone is able to reach their full potential. ➡️ We offer two core internship programmes – Pre-Internships & Supported Internships. Both of these help students move into paid employment.

We are truly in awe of the incredible work being done at Crag House Farm 🌱 Our interns have gained so much from their time with the CHF team, and we couldn't be more grateful for the opportunities this experience has opened up for them. It was an absolute pleasure to meet with Connor, one of our Supported Interns, who completed their placement in the plant nursery at the farm. It was fantastic to hear how much Connor valued their time on the programme, and how they have developed valuable skills and improved their mental well-being. A huge thank you to CRAG HOUSE FARM for providing such a supportive and enriching environment for our interns to thrive! 🌟 #SupportedInternships #InclusionAndDiversity

We’ve been looking back at all the fabulous times shared with our Connections Club crew this past year!
