Loving Men Community Core Costs Fund

In 2025, Loving Men+ became a registered social enterprise by establishing the Loving Men+ Community Interest Company. Social enterprises are organisations doing valuable work in the community in a manner similar to a charity, but with a bit less of the red tape.

Now that we are a CIC, any profit made by Loving Men+ goes back into the organisation. And if Loving Men+ ever folded, any remaining assets are required by law to be passed on to another charity or social enterprise.

Becoming a social enterprise brings with it more responsibilities and some increased costs as a result.

So, alongside the LM+ Bursary Fund we have recently set up another fundraising initiative: the LM+ Community Core Costs Fund.

This fund will help us cover the core costs of running a Community Interest Company. These include the costs associated with accountancy & book-keeping, website maintenance & development, day-to-day administration, insurance, and ultimately could contribute towards volunteer coordination, strategic management and some community events.

This fund helps us keep our event costs down to enable diverse involvement, which is a big part of our commitment to Diversity.

A small donation can make a big difference and help us carry on our work in the world.
