A wonderful Community
We recently discouvered an amazing charitable organization the mission of which is to create life-enhancing opportunities for adults with Learning Disabilities.
The Lantern Community provides a home life, fulfilling work, friendship, social interaction, opportunities for personal growth, adult education and cultural and spiritual inspiration. This takes place in a community which develops from the mutual support that each individual gives and receives.
The community is home to approximately 65 people, half of whom have special needs, and consists of eight houses on the estate, and one house in the town of Ringwood.
Social inclusion is paramount to the charity who offers work experience and skills training with an array of facilities also to individuals who are not resident in The Lantern Community.
Clients can learn different skills, ranging from Pottery, Weavery and Wood Craft to Bakery, Horticultural Nursery and Food Preparation.
