About Us – Lovewelluk

 

We are Claire and Rhian and we run LoveWell and we are a social enterprise.

LoveWell was born out of a desire to create supportive pathways into employment for women who have experienced significant trauma through trafficking and exploitation.

‘LoveWell makes me feel valued, here I know I am enough’ LoveWell Trainee

 LoveWell is a charitable enterprise supporting and training women to grow in strength and confidence, so they can move on and into alternative employment. It was set up to offer women the opportunity to build new skills through the manufacture of luxury natural skincare products. 

Women whose lives have been impacted by significant trauma through trafficking and exploitation face many barriers when wanting to move on, and live with the trauma of their experiences. Through our Live Well training programme we offer paid employment and training designed to support women to move into long-term, sustainable work in the future.

Every woman who has been through our training programme has increased her confidence, which has led her to feeling more ready to apply for work, volunteering opportunities and further training and education. 

Our programme is central to LoveWell’s purpose – to support women to grow in strength and confidence and take control of their lives.

Follow up support after the work-well programme

Following the training programme, each trainee is supported by a Lovewell mentor for at least 6 months, usually up to a year. This offers an extra safety net of support and adds longevity to their experience with LoveWell. 

Poverty and a lack of economic independence are the two causes that make women and children vulnerable to exploitation. We believe that by creating a place where women feel safe to recover and move forward that we can be part of ensuring these cycles of exploitation do not continue to occur. 

LoveWell’s mission is to break these cycles.
