Empowering young people aged 11-18 to build confidence and make positive choices in their health and relationships.

Love4Life specialises in supporting vulnerable girls* in Leicestershire, Leicester & Derby to develop their self-esteem and form positive and empowering relationships by offering Love4Life groups, one-to-ones and workshops at school and in the community.
We deliver targeted relationship and sex education to support young people facing difficulties in these areas and provide honest and age-appropriate resources to help them understand their sexual health, how to stay safe and the potential risk of sexual exploitation.
All of our work embeds positive self-worth, body image and the handling of emotions in order to help a young person become more resilient. Our belief is that once young people feel good about themselves they are more likely to make positive choices in their health and relationships.

Preventing Anti-social Behaviour

Love4Life has funding until June 2023 to provide interventions to help prevent anti-social behaviour in Charnwood Borough. Would you like the young person you are referring to be considered for support under this programme?

YesNo

Love4Life's work on ASB is preventative. We support young people who due to risk factors in their lives may be drawn into anti-social behaviour or are showing early signs that could escalate. This support is not suitable for young people who are already involved in high-risk behaviours. Support under this project is only available to young people resident or attending school in Charnwood. Please confirm that the young person you are referring is suitable for this support.

YesNo

Please provide further information below that will help us to understand this young person's situation and support needs. If you are referring to the ASB project and none of the checkboxes feel relevant, you can leave these blank.

*Please note we are not a specialist mental health charity. Where a young person’s needs are exclusively or predominantly linked to their mental health, or they are experiencing crisis symptoms (e.g. suicidal thoughts, severe self-harm), they will be better with specialist support.

We are always happy to work alongside mental health professionals to provide more informal support, such as Love4Life groups, to address issues like self-esteem, body image and social anxiety where appropriate.

If in doubt, please get in touch with us to discuss it further.

We may get in touch with you, or other professionals whose details have been provided here, to discuss this referral in more detail before accepting the young person onto our programme.

In line with GDPR, we will also need to confirm written consent from the parent/guardian for the referral and will speak to the young person to check they wish to proceed with our support. At this point the young person will be provided with a Privacy Notice, which they will need to agree to in order to access our services.

If for any reason it is not appropriate to gain parental consent, please contact us.
