Trusted locally, recognised nationally

Established in 2026, Lifting Lives has the ambition to empower community groups and initiatives across the UK that make a lasting difference to people’s lives. We are building trust locally to be recognised nationally for the work we do. 

EXPANDING WHAT WE DO
Shared values and partnership

Today, we manage the Community Benefit Fund for LHC Procurement Group. Our aim is to work in partnership with any public, private or third sector organisation that shares our values and believes in working at a local level to improve lives and places. 

Through our work with LHC Procurement Group we can develop an extensive network of organisations across the UK and can offer our partners the outreach and local insights they need to make a difference in the communities they want to support. 

We can also offer experience and advice on monitoring and measuring social impact; by helping you select community initiatives that have measurable outcomes and those focused on increasing their impact further. 

We’d love to hear from you.

Our Board of Trustees

Our Trustees oversee effective and transparent distribution of donations in line with regulation. They equally guide our charity to support projects and activities that reach people who face particular difficulties in their lives.

This includes people with disabilities, those who are unemployed or on low incomes, or young people who are affected by disadvantage in any way.

Laurie Carberry
“I became a trustee of Lifting Lives because I believe deeply in local, grass roots community organisations who support people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The work we do at Lifting Lives in supporting our partners distribute charitable funding to these communities makes a real difference to people and places, and I’m proud to play a role in that.”
