Our Partners
Intelligent Energy Grant
Life Beacon is a beneficiary of the Intelligent Energy Grant. This grant is used to fund two of our key projects ; The Getting Ready for University project discussed above, as well as our Entrepreneurial Mindset Project. The Entrepreneurial Mindset project involves Life Beacon reaching out to schools and conducting unique activities with the youth in those schools. The activities will be geared at triggering an entrepreneurial mindset and desire within these young people. This project's aim is not to necessarily create new entrepreneurs, but rather it is to help these young people learn some key entrepreneurial skills which will help them as they grow into adult hood and aim for their various careers.

Amazon Smile
Amazon Smile is an Amazon extension which allows buyers to shop while also being socially responsible. Amazon Smile is connected to multiple charities across the world, and it allows buyers to select which charity they wish for Amazon to donate to each time they shop. Amazon has reached out to Life Beacon with the opportunity to be one of the charities listed in a buyer’s options of charities to select from on Amazon Smile. Individuals who choose Life Beacon are hence making indirect donations through Amazon Smile to Life Beacon through each of their normal Amazon purchases.

Loughborough University and Loughborough Student Union (LSU)
Our relationship with Loughborough university is a two way stream. On one hand we help the university find more efficient means of supporting its students, especially the ones from BAME backgrounds. This helps the university achieve its EDI targets. We also extend 1-1 and tailored support to some of the Loughborough University students , from foundation students all through to postgraduate students. Additionally, through the university staff and researchers Life Beacon has access to unique trainings for our Life Beacon volunteers. The Loughborough student union (LSU) also supports Life Beacon in the Life Beacon Action project for Getting Ready for University. Recently, the LSU chose LBI as one of the charities it will donate to for its Yearly Operations Jingle Bells fundraiser project. The proceeds from the donations will go to our Back to school and Mother at Birth projects.
