02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
TLC exists to bring relief to those facing hardship, whether due to geographical or social disadvantage, food or fuel poverty, age, ill-health, disability, financial difficulties, or other forms of vulnerability. Our mission is to love and care for our city in a way that is compassionate, inclusive, and free from discrimination. We pursue this mission through three core areas of work: operating a food bank, delivering financial resilience services, and providing befriending support. Together, these activities aim to tackle both material poverty and the deep-rooted issues of loneliness and social isolation affecting many in our community.
