Light Up Lives CIC
Westmorland and Furness
A small Social Enterprise with a huge vision.
Our aim is to create a kinder way of life by tackling social issues such as isolation, loneliness and improve health and wellbeing for all in the community.
We believe in the power of "one". If you can make a positive difference to one individual, you are doing a really great job. We are there to fill a gap in the community for those people that may not want to go to big organised events or are frightened to reach out. We hold small sessions or one to ones to help them build their confidence.
We have kindness at our core and live with a "Kindset" as our mindset. In everything we do, we consider whether it is kind to ourselves, to others and to the planet.
We are striving to create sustainable collaborative communities with kindness at their core.
We do this by holding various sessions at our offices and in the community.
One to one sessions, either in the offices or at home, Chat Cafes, Weekly drop-ins, Art for Wellness, Craft Sessions and Flowers for Wellbeing.
We try to source locally as much as we can, keep costs to a minimum and recycle wherever possible whilst encouraging others to do the same.
We also collaborate with other social enterprises and local organisations to provide and support as much in the community as is possible.
We encourage businesses to invest in their communities and work with them to embrace a kind culture throughout their organisation.
We host and support the GAP Wellbeing Hub monthly and hold a weekly drop-in at our offices for them.
