Relieving Suffering, Building Futures

In Love and Faith was established with the belief that no one should face illness, lack of education, or isolation without support. We are a registered charity in England and Wales (No. 1166693), headquartered in Hartlepool.

Our mission centres on the relief of sickness — particularly for those living with HIV/AIDS and other long-term conditions. We also work to bridge educational gaps and facilitate the exchange of care workers between the United Kingdom and developing countries.

We exist to serve a wide range of beneficiaries: children, young people, the elderly, people with disabilities, and the general public — offering grants, human resources, advocacy, advice, and sponsoring vital research.
