Case Studies
When I left school I didn’t really know what I do and Lighthouse Futures Trust seemed like the best option for me. Now I know what I want to do, painting and decorating. Lighthouse Futures Trust have helped me to choose this as a job role and given me experience. I would never have known to do decorating previously.
