About LMK
Good relationships shape our health and happiness, yet we are taught so little about them. LMK (Let Me Know) is on a mission to change that. We are a young and thriving charity providing education about healthy and unhealthy behaviours so that young people have the knowledge and skills to avoid abuse and thrive in their relationships. We work in schools, community organisations and workplaces across London.
LMK is growing at pace and we are ambitious in our plans for the future. We've already engaged 21,000 young people and professionals in our workshops in our first 5 years and we want to reach a further 18,000 young people over the next two years.
We will achieve this by engaging new schools, community groups and workplaces in our offer, whilst also continuing to provide a high-quality service to those who have already experienced LMK workshops, embedding our programme into their annual delivery plans. Further information about our programmes can be found here.
We have:
A clear plan of who we want to target for our workshops over the next 3 years
An engaged leadership team and Board of Trustees
A talented group of freelance LMK Leaders (trainers) leading our workshops
A diverse and talented Youth Advisory Board, helping shape our programmes
Diversity and strong social purpose
An organisational strategy that sets our vision from
A new CRM system that has been built to support our ambitions
