This month we welcome Mike Graham (Chief Executive Officer) and Tanya Bailey Education, Training & Employment Coordinator from The Lantern Trust.
The Lantern Trust is an independent registered charity that was founded in 1983 to help vulnerable and marginalised people in the Weymouth and Portland area.
The Lantern Trust aims to bring a lasting change in people’s lives through our dedicated service; meeting people’s practical, emotional, and personal aftercare needs. Their ethos is one of social inclusion, and aiming to break cycles of disadvantage and dependency.
