The LoveLuvo Story: More than Retail
Founded in 2011 by WCIG, LoveLuvo was conceived as a means to offer sustainable, paid employment opportunities to individuals facing barriers in their quest for work. The organisation's dedication to providing skills and confidence-building within a supportive work environment is both admirable and impactful. This ethos of empowerment runs deep within LoveLuvo's DNA.
Plantacard: Growth in a Card
In the pursuit of their mission to empower and inspire sustainability, LoveLuvo has partnered with Plantacard, known for innovative Plantable Cards.
