What Is Lighthouse Kidz?
Started in 2013 by Paul Waugh, Warren Vaughan, Chris Nash, Shaun Cooper and Adam Wallis, Lighthouse International’s sister non-profit, Lighthouse Kidz Community Interest Company was formed to ensure two things:
Young People – To get the support they desperately need to get a great start in life.
Adults – To help adults become more effective and achieve what they want in their lives, careers and businesses in order to give back more to young people.

Who Are the Young People You’re Supporting?
Quite simply, any child in need – that may be the young boy growing up with an abusive father, or the young girl with a single mum on benefits…or even, the young girl from a very rich family at a private school, but is depressed and has turned to drugs, self-harm or eating disorders to cover up her pain of feeling unloved.
Who Are the Adults Involved?
To help young people in the best way possible we need more adults to lend a helping hand. We need more adults who are becoming increasingly more effective in their own lives and in the capacity to add value and make a difference.
Here’s a video of a previous event we hosted called Football 4 Water to raise money for our Clean Water Campaign:
How Do You Help Young People?
Beyond fundamental support programs for young people, like the online Young Achievers Program, or setting and achieving goals through the Dare to Dream and personal mentoring, throughout Lighthouse Beacon OutReach Campaign we are ensuring that we’re finding young people in need and ensuring they’re getting the help they need. Getting young people the right help, early enough is critical, even life-critical.
How Are You Helping the Adults Involved?
To have the greatest impact in young people’s lives we must empower adults more and more to be more effective, living the life they want for themselves so that they have a greater capacity to give back. So through the Proactive Beacon Network we are helping adults to build their circle of influence and develop the skills necessary to achieve their lives, careers and/or businesses.
