  The Lighthouse Project Spalding is a registered charity providing supported accommodation to young people in South Holland, Lincolnshire. It has a general home and flats for all young adults, a Mum & Baby unit and a home for young women with life controlling issues. Whilst most of these are very light touch support, this last home is called Karis House and provides slightly more intensive rehabilitation for young women who find daily living difficult. The charity also runs a second hand furniture store and a charity shop with cafe. These provide opportunities for work experience for the young people.
