About Love Squared
Love Squared is a Community Interest Company providing specialist support for children, young people and families experiencing social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges. Through mentoring, counselling, family advocacy and therapeutic interventions, the organisation helps children build confidence, improve their wellbeing and remain engaged in education, while also providing training and consultancy for schools and organisations.
Our Investment
Resonance invested £75,000 through the South West SITR Fund to support Love Squared's growth by strengthening its operational capacity, recruiting key staff and renovating its specialist children's wellbeing hub, Glow.
Our Impact
The investment enabled Love Squared to expand its capacity and continue delivering high-quality support to more children and families across the South West. It also transformed the Glow hub into a dedicated therapeutic space for children experiencing challenges such as anxiety, trauma, domestic abuse and self-harm, helping more young people improve their wellbeing, build resilience and remain engaged in education.
Sarah Louise Hopkins, Love Squared: “We are just absolutely thrilled that this amazing support that Resonance has given us will allow us to help more wonderful children and young people to thrive. Many of them have been through so many adverse experiences and fight every day to overcome the barriers that society puts in their way because of their mental health needs. They are truly inspirational and being able to finally launch Glow: our first specialist hub, having more staff and more capacity – all of which this loan allows us to do - will make a huge difference to how much we can help them to achieve what they deserve over the next few years. We are all glowing! It has given us a real chance at building sustainability for the future and to have real impact.”
