About The Lantern Trust
The Lantern is an independent registered charity which was established in 1983 to benefit vulnerable and
marginalized people in the Weymouth and Portland area. We aim to bring lasting change to people’s lives
through the provision of a dedicated service meeting practical, emotional and personal unmet aftercare
needs. Our ethos is one of social inclusion and we aim to break the cycles of disadvantage and dependency
through providing support which is tailored to individual need. We strive to work with people rather than
purely for people, in order to equip clients with a toolkit to tackle everyday issues and to engender a sense
of self-confidence and empowerment in those whom we assist. The foundation of our work is based upon
developing lasting, trusting relationships with our client base
