In August 2026, we partnered with Lumos – a fantastic organisation that works around the world to ‘transform care and protection systems for children so that a safe and loving family is a reality for every child’. They address the root causes of family separation and support the transition of children out of harmful institutions, so they can thrive within the security of family, supported by community. Curiously, their offices are based very close to Two Temple Place. A chance meeting of core Lumos staff at our 2026 exhibition, The Weight of Being, allowed an exciting collaboration to forge organically due shared values over removing barriers of access to culture, heritage and the arts.
Delegates from 5 countries, with their young ambassadors, translators, and Lumos staff, flew from all over the world to arrive in London (this was the first time in the UK for nearly all the young people involved!) for a special wellbeing activity week hosted by Lumos across London. Two Temple Place was their first point of call, and we were delighted to host them for the day.
We began by exploring our building, its history, architecture and materials – translating across five different cultures and sharing powerful reflections on the house and its atmosphere. Afterwards, Lumos delegates had the chance to learn print-making skills by designing their own T shirt illustrations/graphic designs, inspired by the building and its architecture in a bespoke workshop designed by our community & education team.
The t-shirts were a great success, and all the young people got to take them away as a memory of their first time in London, and connecting in with Two Temple Place.
