About this cause

Love Ipswich is a group of Ipswich based volunteers who look to help people in need within Ipswich in practical ways – from garden makeovers for the vulnerable elderly, to running self-esteem courses in women’s hostels and local high schools. We partner with our Love Norwich campaign to reach as many people in East Anglia. We are currently running our "Shine" self-esteem course in 2 high schools which teaches teenage girls their worth and value, using crafts, role play and discussion. As part of our Christmas Hamper appeal we deliver 'Luxury Christmas Dinners' to vulnerable families within the community. The hampers contain all the items you need to make a Christmas dinner alongside a £10 meat voucher. Last year we were able to deliver 68 hampers within Ipswich, this year we aim for 150.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Love Ipswich aims to reach out to our community and aid in really practical ways. We would love to alleviate some of the difficulties that people within our town face, especially during difficult times financially such as Christmas. Our Shine course should teach valuable skills about worth and value that has an impact on raising self esteem and alleviating issues such as self-harm and depression.
