It Takes a Village | LM+ Zoom Event | Thursday 10th July
"Ask not what your community can do for you – ask what you can do for your community." -J.F. Kennedy.
Do you have the energy, time or resources to help us continue the work of Loving Men+ and help build a bigger, more diverse and more supportive community?
In 2025, Loving Men+ became a Community Interest Company. This is an organisational structure introduced in 2005 to support projects that are doing valuable work in the community.
We need your help to realise the full potential of Loving Men+ CIC.
We know there is a lot of goodwill, energy and care already within the LM+ community - we want to find a way to harness and organise those resources to help us build an even better community organisation that reaches more people, increases diversity, and doesn't make low income a barrier to joining in.
Some of the areas we need help with are:
- Outreach to diverse sections of the gay, bi, trans and non-binary communities.
- Fundraising to support people with low incomes to participate fully, and to ensure no one is turned away for lack of funds.
- Social and Networking skills to help people stay connected between events.
Could you help with any of these projects?
Come and join us at the It Takes a Village LM+ Zoom Event
Thursday 10th July - 6.30 to 8.00pm.

The phrase "It takes a village to raise a child" is an African proverb believed to originate from the Igbo and Yoruba communities in Nigeria. However, similar sentiments exist in many other African cultures. Its core meaning is that an entire community of people must interact with and support children for them to grow and thrive in a safe and healthy environment.
While the proverb traditionally refers to children, its underlying principles perfectly apply to building and sustaining any community.

Loving Men+ welcomes gay, bi & trans men and gender non-binary people, from all walks of life who want to develop their capacity to love. We particularly encourage participation from black and ethnic minority, HIV positive and negative, young and older, trans and disabled men and non-binary people. In 2023 we added the + to our logo in recognition that trans and non-binary people have been a valued part of Loving Men+ since we began in 2003.
