Objectives

Love Burnt Oak (LBO) started in 2012 and has established itself as a trusted organisation in the community of Burnt Oak. London. It has worked with the LBO Network ’comprising of over 30 organisations and individuals who are committed to working together to improve the life chances and opportunities for local residents.

Through our charitable objectives we aim to bring together local residents and providers of community and public services to address local issues that can be delivered in a more streamlined and cost effective way. Our aim is to make better use of available resources and community assets to improve access and awareness of existing services.

We have brought partners together to identify and develop a range of new services that are beneficial to local residents in providing a package of support and themed services that include training and employment, health and well‐being, children, young people &families and financial and digital inclusion that have been;

  • · Improving local people's employment prospects
  • · reducing debt by providing financial management and advice services
  • · promoting the ‘digital by default’ agenda
  • · enhancing individuals health and well‐being
  • · building capacity and empowerment of the community through engagement and participation

 

LBO is still a young organisation with high aspirations. To achieve our charitable aims it requires well grounded governance, be able to identify  opportunities for growth and gain support from local and national businesses willing to support our objectives through their corporate and social responsibility agenda

We are keen to reach out to a range of professional experienced in project management, finance, fund raising, charitable governance and those with a willingness and drive for social justice.
