Lighthouse Foundation

School holidays are always a special time for connection at Lighthouse. 🧡

Over the break, young people from across our programs gathered at our Southern Hub for a cosy winter movie day, spending time together over games, good company, and a screening of the beloved 'Shrek 2'.

Our school holiday activities create opportunities for young people to relax and build friendships before the new school term begins. These moments of connection are an important part of helping our young people heal, grow, and thrive.

Lighthouse Foundation recently hosted our annual Chairman’s Event at the beautiful Raheen Estate, generously hosted by Fiona Geminder and Heloise Pratt.

Guided by MC Clint Stanaway, guests were taken on a powerful journey through stories that highlighted both the realities of youth homelessness and the hope that can emerge through consistent care, connection, and therapeutic support.

A particularly moving moment was hearing from former Lighthouse young person Nada, alongside Lighthouse Patron, Board Member, and former young person Christine Campbell. Their deeply personal reflections on trauma, homelessness, and healing were a powerful reminder of why this work matters.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, more than $200,000 has been raised so far to support children and young people experiencing homelessness and trauma through Lighthouse programs.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our event committee, Chairman Len Warson, Board Member Amit Holckner, and Patron Jane Badler Hains, whose dedication and support helped bring this special evening to life.

To everyone who attended, donated, and stood with us, thank you for helping create enduring futures for young people.
