Your Membership

Face to Face

As a member, you will have the opportunity to attend up to 25 social events a month, including themed discos, bowling, restaurant visits, and game nights. During these events, you will have the opportunity to meet others members of Love4Life and develop lifelong friendships.

Online

Whether you’re easing into social interactions or simply facing mobility or transport challenges, our online events provide a supportive, pressure-free environment where you can make connections at your own pace. We host a minimum of one online event per week and a specialised workshop every two weeks. These online sessions are integrated, allowing both face-to-face and online members to interact and connect.

Our membership costs £10 a month. For some events, such as meals out or the cinema, there will be an extra cost; however, other events and all our workshops are free.

We hold a drop-in session every two weeks where you can get advice and support for anything you may be struggling with.

Frequently asked questions

Can I join if I have a boyfriend or girlfriend?

Yes, absolutely! Love4Life isn’t just about going on dates, it is a great place just to find friends.

Can I join just to make friends?

Again, yes! It is completely your choice if you want to date or not.

How do I join online?

To sign up for our online membership, head to our membership application form and select ‘Online’ as your preferred membership type.

Do I have to come to all the Love4Life events?

You can come to as many or as few Love4Life events as you want to! When you become a member, you will receive an events list that will tell you all the events we have available for the next two months – and then you can choose what you would like to attend.

I have seen you put on shows with Love4Life members, do I have to take part?

No, you can get involved with as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Although, you’d be surprised how many people love to get involved with our shows!

What workshops do you have?

We run independent living workshops throughout the year which include cooking, health and wellbeing, friendship and relationships, cv writing, money management, travel training and sex education.

Can I attend with my carer?

We encourage people to attend independently, but if you require additional support then you will need to bring a carer with you.

Can I join if I have a criminal conviction?

If you have a criminal conviction, we will ask you for more information about this. If we have concerns, we will ask you to complete a DBS and we will make a decision based on this.
