Come Out of Hiding: The Lighthouse Network CIC (COOH) is a Christian, BME-led, community-rooted social enterprise dedicated to nurturing, equipping, and empowering whole and healthy young people, families, and underserved communities. Through our faith-inspired, holistic, and family-first “Lighthouse Approach,” we provide mental, emotional, spiritual, and practical support that transforms lives from the inside out. Founded in 2015 and registered as a Community Interest Company in 2018, we have built a growing, trusted presence in our community. Our work is delivered through two core strands: Family Matters and The Lighthouse Academy which together form a bridge between support, leadership development, and legacy-building. As we embark on our 10-year journey in 2025, we are in a critical growth phase, aiming to build capacity for long-term sustainability and legacy. Our mission is for every young person, family, and community to experience holistic wholeness and wellbeing: spirit, soul and body. The UK is facing overlapping crises impacting its young people and families: 1. Escalating Youth Mental Health Crisis: Around 1 in 5 young people (8-25) have a diagnosable mental health disorder, yet only 40% access effective treatment, leaving a significant gap in support, particularly in low-income communities. 2. Profound Social Isolation: 1.9 million Gen Z youth (16-24) report chronic loneliness, a higher rate than any other demographic. This is exacerbated by the loss of vital community spaces. 3. Gaps in Community Support Infrastructure: Since 2012, 53% of local authority-run youth centres have closed, removing crucial hubs for peer interaction and safe spaces. 4. Compounding Socioeconomic Challenges: Food insecurity affects 15% of UK households, with 60% of food-insecure homes reducing fruit purchases. Youth homelessness in London has seen a 92% increase since 2016, with 20,200 cases reported in 2023 alone, driven by family breakdowns and lack of housing options. These systemic issues create a critical need for holistic, community-driven interventions that address immediate needs while fostering long-term resilience and wellbeing. Our Solution: The Lighthouse Approach At COOH, we provide faith-inspired, holistic-based support with a family-first approach. We believe transformation begins in homes, serving the whole household, not just the child. Our programmes address mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing. Our work is delivered through two key arms: 1. Family Matters: Focused on rebuilding families and communities through: Let’s Get Fed Community Fridge and Mayor’s Fund for London Holiday Food Programme, Let's Get Messy Creative Mental Health & Wellbeing Sessions, Let’s Get Moving Physical Activity Sessions, Let’s Level Up Career Leadership & Employability Sessions, Annual Bank Holiday Undivided Family Community Summer Festival 2. The Lighthouse Leadership Academy (TLC): Raising Whole Leaders of Tomorrow

We are a Community Hall run by the Tenants and Residents Association of China Walk Estate, a council estate with many people on a low income. We run a food bank on Tuesday mornings to provide food for people on the estate and the surrounding community, including homeless people. The food bank is open to everyone. We also provide food when we can to elderly people who meet at the hall for coffee mornings, bingo and sewing groups. Currently we receive a delivery of food from City Harvest and we also collect food from Brixton Hub but our numbers are growing rapidly so we would love to increase our surplus food supply. We do not charge anything and are happy to help anyone in the community who needs help. We provide tea, coffee and snacks at our Tuesday morning foodbank as well as a warm place to sit. We are not a registered charity, just a Community Hall. We do not charge anything for our food and any food we would receive via Neighbourly would be free of charge. The hall offers many activities to the community including free of charge Aikido, Yoga for Mental Health and Chair Pilates. Coffee morning and bingo and sewing classes are provided for a very small charge. We also put on free parties for people in the community and run subsidised coach trips to the seaside and to Christmas Markets.
