The Lumina programme has the power to transform the lives of countless care-experienced young individuals.

The brain is ever-changing and even the most traumatised child with the right support can overcome habits that once seemed unbreakable. Children who have been traumatised need not be left behind.

That is the first thing to say. This is a programme that changed my perspective, my understanding of young people and my teaching practice. I am a better teacher because of Lumina.
