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 20182019.

We have worked with other UK charities (Shelter, Opportunity through clude within this Education) by supporting them and have made donations. statutory that trustees have to the guidance
