Katie, 15 years old, attends The Lighthouse Group in Bradford. She has had a difficult upbringing, growing up with a broken family life, witnessing physical violence and alcoholism in the home. As a result, Katie's circumstances at home began to affect her performance at school. Struggling to control her anger, Katie got into trouble leading to permanent exclusion.
Arriving, at The Lighthouse Group, Katie has had the level of support that is needed to help her overcome her difficult circumstances. The conversion of an underutilised room through the support of LandAid has given The Lighthouse Group the opportunity to start delivering vocational programmes that will equip young people like Katie to learn some basic life skills.
"The course is helping me to learn to cook, I feel more confident now giving it a go at home. The sessions are fun and helping me practically for the future."
