Lighthouse (British organisation)

Lighthouse, also known as Lighthouse International Group, was a British business and coaching organisation, founded in 2012 by Paul Waugh, that has been reported by numerous experts to be a cult.

Lighthouse International Group's business operations were wound up in the UK High Court following intervention by the Secretary of State on 28 March 2023. Section 124A of the Insolvency Act 1986 permits the Secretary of State, where he believes it is expedient in the public interest that a company should be wound up, to present a petition for it to be wound up if the court thinks it just and equitable for it to be so.

The chief investigator at the Insolvency Service stated this was on the grounds of lack of cooperation with authorities and Waugh's deliberate obstruction. The Insolvency Service released a statement naming Waugh, Christopher Nash, Shaun Cooper and Warren Vaughan as the members of the Limited liability partnership that was wound up.

The group was the subject of a BBC Three documentary first broadcast in April 2023, titled A Very British Cult, as well as a BBC podcast of the same name. The documentary reported that member Tom Hasker would loiter outside the bedroom of a member charged with harassing ex-members on social-media, leading to their increased anxiety such that they had to flee and seek assistance from the Police.

It was reported that Lighthouse now trades as "Lighthouse Global".

Companies House states the Lighthouse Holding company is in the process of being liquidated as of March 2024.
