Our story
Love Your Neighbour was founded in 2020 as an emergency response to the global pandemic. In the last four years, we have evolved into a national alliance of churches and other organisations, coming together to help people overcome the most pressing social challenges. Our aim is to tackle the root causes of poverty through crisis support, debt advice, employment training and wrap around community-based care.
