LOVE Group

LOVE is a one-of-a-kind social business that funds its outreach charitable services - such as education and social care - through corporate services, such as wellbeing or professional training. We are different to other outreach providers in that we identify gaps in existing services, and tailor our outreach to the needs of each individual. For example, we deliver services to vulnerable people with 24/7 crisis care where standard services operate during office hours only. Our outreach services include education support, employability, sport and physical wellbeing, and social care, while our corporate services include professional training and recruitment. We are motivated by our drive to bring love back to social justice, inclusion and wellbeing. By identifying gaps and raising standards in Care & Education or outreach, we have developed a disruptive model that identifies opportunities to support vulnerable individuals who would otherwise have limited or no access to the services they need.
