Our Ethos & Goals

At Your Love Rara, we are committed to building a creative, inclusive, and supportive environment that nurtures mental health, fuels imagination, and brings communities together. Through compassion, connection, and creativity, we aim to inspire the next generation to thrive emotionally, mentally, and socially.

What We Stand For

Mental health awareness, inclusion, and community support are at the very heart of our organisation. We believe everyone deserves a safe space to express themselves, access support, and grow—regardless of background, ability, or circumstance.

Our professionally led programmes use creativity and coaching to:

• Teach resilience

• Support anxiety and depression

• Promote personal growth

• Encourage emotional literacy

Laughter and joy are essential to what we do. Did you know? A good laugh relieves physical tension, reduces stress hormones, boosts the immune system, and helps foster social connection. We use fun and imagination to create engaging experiences that leave a lasting positive impact.

Our Vision

We’re working to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health—especially among young people. Through tailored workshops, community events, and youth-led initiatives, we equip children, teens, and young adults with tools to understand and manage their emotions, build confidence, and support one another.

Our upcoming Blog and Podcast, created by teens for teens, will provide a relatable, safe platform for young voices to share their experiences, ideas, and wellbeing journeys.

Empowering the Next Generation

Founded by Zara Grant, Your Love Rara is deeply personal. Having experienced homelessness at 16 and relocating across the world by 19, Zara knows the power of resilience, mentorship, and opportunity. Her mission is to inspire and empower young people to believe in themselves and build a brighter future.

“Not only do I want to create an inclusive environment for all children and adults—I want to inspire the next generation. I want to support young individuals in personal development, and guide them in discovering their strengths and dreams.”

We aim to create real opportunities for young people through:

• Jobs and apprenticeships

• Creative and wellbeing industry training

• Mentorship and personal development programmes

Our Values

• Community Empowerment: Volunteering builds stronger, more connected communities.

We raise funds to deliver inclusive programmes and partner with local organisations to spread joy and support where it’s needed most.

Community Support & Social Impact Programmes

At Your Love Rara, we understand that strong families build strong communities. Our social impact programmes are designed to support emotional wellbeing, bridge cultural divides, and respond to real health and social challenges affecting individuals today.

Our Goal

To create a community where every family feels supported, every child feels empowered, and every individual—regardless of background—has access to tools for healing, joy, and growth. Our mission is to build a future where inclusion isn't an afterthought—it's the foundation.

How We Work

Our work is divided into two core areas: Community Serving and Organisation Serving. Our volunteer-led structure offers opportunities for growth, skill-building, and leadership:

• Administrators & Funding Officers: Help with funding applications, research, staffing, and operations.

• Qualified Coaches: Deliver workshops and training while supporting volunteers and mentors.

• Mentors (16+): Lead activities, contribute to content (like blogs and podcasts), and support programme delivery.

• Volunteers (ages 12–25): Assist in events, workshops, and behind-the-scenes activities—gaining experience in creativity, wellbeing, and community work.

Your Love Rara is not just a community interest company. We are a movement—dedicated to healing through creativity, building confidence through connection, and changing lives through care and inclusion.
