The Lantern Trust believes above all that partnership working is essential. Our Hub is growing by the week. We have a growing number of statutory and non statutory agencies that offer drop in's. The Lanterns unique approach of building trusting, lasting relationships works.

A huge thank you to Lauren Bannon for not only agreeing to perform at our fundraiser but to also offer a dress from her performance from The Voice Kids✌️ for auction. Tickets available from The Lantern Trust and Sparkle Event Planning on Facebook.

Catch us at The 1940s Fun Day in Weymouth at Radipole Gardens. Come on down and say hello and find our more about our work. We are also going to be selling tickets for our fundraiser on the 15th September.

Statistics say there's a UK suicide epidemic but the number of people dying by taking their own lives is likely much higher than reported via UNILAD ow.ly/Jate50iHwMB

We have extended our premises. Part of our new building has a workshop for "Dave". 3 months ago Dave was homeless. The Lantern housed him and now he has started his own furniture restoration buisness from our building. Our customers drive all that we do at the Lantern Trust

Kate Parker and Shelter are amazing!

Amazing effort and dedication from Lee Button. Lee and his team have been providing strategy and facilitation that have enabled us to grow into our new premise and be a fully commissioned service.

Weymouth and Portland has the highest rate of homelessness in Dorset. We have a number of dedicated services working together. The problem is finding access to sustainable acoomadation. The Hub we have established is better linking services.

Since the 1st October the Lantern has paid for 20 people to move into private rented accommadation. Thank you to all of our supporters that enable us to keep up with the increasing demands being placed on our service. Deposit Protection Service #PrivateDonors

In addition to our crisis work we have a number of weekly activities to help our customers avoid isolation.
