Good luck to Adele, Principal of Lighthouse Futures Trust, as she takes her tiny legs on a MASSIVE challenge in memory of Corban Rosenthall 💙

Today, Adele begins her incredible 23-mile journey across the famous terrains of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, climbing an astonishing 3,064m in just 24 hours!

Adele is walking in memory of Corban, a warm-hearted and much-loved Lighthouse student who sadly passed away in 2024. Corban brought joy, humour and kindness everywhere he went, both at college and in the workplace where he trained alongside his work buddies in preparation for paid employment.

Please join us in wishing Adele the very best of luck and supporting Lighthouse Futures Trust as we continue helping young people with special educational needs into employment.

On Saturday 30th May 2026, our Principal Adele is taking on the incredible National Three Peaks Challenge in support of Lighthouse Futures Trust and in memory of the much-loved Corban Rosenthall. 💙

Adele will tackle 23 miles across Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, climbing a total ascent of 3,064m in the hope of completing the challenge within 24 hours!

Corban had a valued place within Lighthouse, and his warmth, humour and kindness touched everyone around him. He was working towards paid employment through his training placements and brought joy to both college and the workplace every day. This challenge is a way to honour his memory while helping other young people with special educational needs achieve their own futures through Lighthouse.

Every donation, share and message of support means so much.

Please support Adele’s challenge and help us continue changing lives for young people just like Corban. 💛
