In addition to providing a fun and supportive environment, we are thrilled to announce that Lumiere will o er employability programs for young adults aged 18 to 25 with neurodivergent needs. These programs will help them transition into the workforce with confidence, providing valuable skills and support as they navigate this critical stage of life. As a family, we’ve often wondered what Jaxon’s future will look like in terms of work and whether his needs will be met in a workplace environment. These programs are designed to ensure young adults like Jaxon have the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. We also plan to o er outreach services for families, providing them with resources, guidance, and the opportunity to be part of a community that understands and uplifts them. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to build a brighter future for every child and young adult who walks through our doors. How does Lumiere Charity ensure that its resources and donations reach those who need them the most, especially in underserved areas? At Lumiere Charity, we’ve been incredibly fortunate to receive support from a community that believes in our mission. From the start, we made it a priority to focus on grassroots e orts, ensuring that our funds and resources directly benefit those who need them most. The community is the heart of everything we do. One of our first initiatives was when local firefighters ran a half marathon in support of Lumiere. Their dedication not only raised much-needed funds but also brought awareness to our cause. We’ve had tremendous support, including a local football tournament and a walk from Liverpool’s iconic Liver Building to the Palace of Westminster—an ambitious fundraiser that came to life within just two weeks. Thanks to these e orts, we’ve been able to purchase essential equipment for our building, including games for the Games Room, sensory tools for the Sensory Room, and materials for the Soft Play Area. We are thrilled to share that we’ve just been awarded a £2,000 grant for additional equipment, which is a testament to

Lumiere has just secured its first building. Can you tell us more about this space and your future plans? We are beyond excited to announce that we’ve secured our very first building—an expansive 4,100 square-foot space that is bursting with potential! Every time we step inside, we’re filled with excitement, knowing that this will soon be a place filled with laughter, creativity, and joy for children with disabilities. This building symbolises so much more than just walls—it represents our commitment to giving children and young adults with disabilities a safe and supportive environment to flourish. Our vision for this space includes: A Sensory Room, where children can relax and explore their senses in a calming, safe environment. A Soft Play Area, perfect for free play and social interactions. A Games Room where children and teens can enjoy activities that stimulate both mind and body.
