Lighthouse Youth Project is an Initiative of Lighthouse Network based in Maidstone in Kent. Our aim is to help provide a healthy environment where our young people can learn, play and grow.

We all know that the youths are the future of any community and particularly with the recent unrest and riots spread across our nation we cannot afford to ignore the sad fact that some of our young people do feel disconnected from society.

Lighthouse Network is a Charitable Organisation based in the Maidstone area. We strongly believe that the family is the building block for any community and for us to have healthy communities, we must have healthy families. This year, we are embarking on a project specifically targeted at young people.

We are in the process of starting a youth club in Maidstone where young people from the community can meet in a safe and stimulating environment, share experiences and support each other under the guidance and supervision of an experienced youth worker, who will be wholly dedicated to this project.
