C Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity set out in its governing document are:

“For the relief of poverty with particular emphasis on homelessness anywhere in the world”.

Love Link UK (LLUK) has carried out activities in supporting and helping the homeless in the UK get housing and promote disability awareness. In carrying out these activities the charity trustees have had regard to the charity commission’s public benefit guides to meet with the ‘public benefit requirement’. In doing this, decisions are made to identify and mange risks of harm to the charity’s beneficiaries or to the public in general.

We have only succeeded in opening a bank account for LLUK in 2020 to raise funds for the public benefit.

LLUK had no bank account and no receipts and payments for 2018-2019.

We have worked with other UK charities (Shelter, Opportunity through Education) by supporting them and have made donations.

Section D Achievements and performance

Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main LLUK has successfully improved the quality of life of the vulnerable and achievements of the charity homeless in the UK by supporting them directly and indirectly and during the year advocating for them to get the help they need. Such help ranges from accommodation to other essentials for everyday living.

We have helped with the relief of poverty, disability awareness and homelessness (suitable and appropriate housing) and followed up specific cases to ensure that necessary positive changes required were achieved.

Examples are we have continued to work with the charity ‘Shelter’, by supporting them financially and collaborating with then where we encountered cases of homelessness or needs regarding accommodation. We supported a family in Guildford that were struggling to, feed and pay their gas and electric bills with financial support and the use of vouchers paid for by Love Link UK. We also supported a homeless family from Romania that we found on the streets of London. The wife of the man who said he had come to work and settle in the UK was heavily pregnant and we advocated with the authorities to help them. We also supported them financially as they needed medical attention and transportation fees when they returned to Romania. Outside the UK we aided ‘Another Smile’ financially, a Charity in Uganda that supports children and the youth with education and employment needs.

We financially supported ‘Let hope Arise Africa’ an education and leadership charity in Uganda by collaborating with David J Leeper a Trustee of the UK charity ‘Educate 2 Live’.

We helped a stranded woman from Denmark who had lost her way in the UK and had gone to a wrong address in the North of England, whereas she needed to be in the South. We aided her with accommodation and transport and supported her to return to Denmark when she was due to return.
