Through its Trinity of Choirs – the Senior Choir, the Republic Bank Youth Outreach Group and the Lights of Love Children’s Choir – the organisation creates safe, nurturing spaces with weekly meetings, providing holistic support to youth and children from marginalised and at-risk backgrounds, the release said. Over the years, the Love Movement has reached countless children and youth from all over the country as well as from institutions such as the Credo Foundation, Sophia House, St Mary’s Children’s Home, Rainbow Rescue, and more. In 2024, the group proudly expanded its outreach to include children with disabilities from The Living Waters Children’s Home – Our Lady of the Wayside, further emphasising their commitment to inclusivity and care.

The Love Movement depends on public generosity to continue its life-changing work with at-risk youth and children. Tickets available at the Queen’s Hall Box office daily from 10 am-6 pm.
