About LMK
Good relationships shape our health and happiness, yet we are taught so little about them. LMK (Let Me Know) is on a mission to change that. We are a young and thriving charity providing education about healthy and unhealthy behaviours so that young people have the knowledge and skills to avoid abuse and thrive in their relationships.

We will achieve this by engaging new schools, community groups and workplaces in our offer, whilst also continuing to provide a high-quality service to those who have already experienced LMK workshops.
Key to our success is raising LMK’s profile and ensuring that our content enables us to connect with our key audiences, increasing our profile within communities, and building engagement on our website and social media channels.
