Tilda partners with LOVO to empower women through £10,000 donation

Tilda has announced its partnership with Ladies of Virtue Outreach CIC (LOVO), a non-profit organisation dedicated to engaging, equipping, and inspiring women and their families. As part of this partnership, Tilda will donate £10,000 to support LOVO’s initiatives over the next 12 months. In addition, the partnership will involve multiple joint community initiatives aimed at celebrating cultural diversity and empowering women.

Ladies of Virtue Outreach CIC (LOVO) is at the forefront of community empowerment, tackling challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and domestic violence. LOVO nurtures individual potential through its core pillars: Community, Growth, Gratitude, Self-Care, and Wisdom. A cornerstone of LOVO’s mission is their weekly global lunch in Peckham, where women from diverse cultural backgrounds come together to share traditional dishes. Given that rice is a common ingredient in these meals, Tilda’s support aligns perfectly with LOVO’s celebration of cultural diversity and unity.


The £10,000 donation from Tilda will fund LOVO’s English language programmes and the weekly global lunches for 12 months, expanding their ability to reach and support more women in need. “This partnership with Tilda is a significant step forward for our organisation,” said Ola Olive Stephen, Founder & Director of LOVO. “The funds will enable us to reach more women and provide them with the tools and support they need to overcome their challenges and lead fulfilling lives.”

In addition to financial support, the Tilda x LOVO collaboration will include a series of community events in 2024, engaging local communities and providing valuable support and resources. The first joint event in June featured a vibrant community gathering in Peckham, with activities such as a Zumba class, a nutritionist talk, and a well-being session. Looking ahead, the partnership will continue with a second major event in September, promising to further amplify the impact of this collaboration.

“We are honoured to partner with LOVO on its mission to empower women now and in the future,” said Jean Phillipe Laborde, Managing Director of Tilda. “At Tilda, we are committed to supporting initiatives that align with our belief in the importance of strengthening our community and cultural diversity.”

Tilda’s B Corp certification in 2023 underscores its commitment to meeting high standards of social and environmental responsibility.

This partnership marks a significant milestone in Tilda’s ongoing efforts to contribute positively to society by supporting organisations championing diversity. Together with LOVO, Tilda looks forward to making a tangible difference in the lives of women and their families, creating a future where life in all its flavours can thrive.
