Our Core Focus:
The Talking Therapies Plus service aims to support underserved communities across the Black Country; those people who may not have previously accessed support or who have not had the same recovery when compared to others accessing the service. Underserved communities may include: Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups; refugees and migrants; LGBTQ+ people; older adults; deaf and hearing impaired people; and men.
It does this by taking a flexible, creative and culturally appropriate approach to delivering Talking Therapies, for example, providing access to therapists with a range of language skills and matching service users to therapists with the same background. Counselling and therapy will be delivered by community organisations in places familiar to, and trusted by, the people who choose to access the service (e.g. GP practices, community settings and voluntary organisations).

At the heart of our mission is Lifeline ARC—Advocacy, Restorative, and Community—a powerful initiative that brings together many of Life in Community CIC’s services under one umbrella. As part of the Black Country Healthcare Wider Determinants programme, Lifeline ARC addresses the broader factors that impact mental health and wellbeing.
Through a mix of education, exercise, advocacy, and wellbeing programmes, we create safe, inclusive spaces where individuals can heal, grow, and thrive. Whether it's helping someone navigate complex systems, supporting them back into work or learning, or simply offering a listening ear and a hot meal, Lifeline ARC embodies our commitment to restoring hope and building stronger community foundations—one life at a time.

Love Your Life Kidz (LYL Kidz) is a vibrant, ongoing programme designed to boost confidence, emotional wellbeing, and educational attainment in children and young people across the Princes End Ward and surrounding areas. We work closely with schools, social workers, and local families to support children facing challenges at home.
Through creative, engaging and fun activities, we help children build resilience, develop a sense of pride in their community, and feel safe, seen and supported. LYL Kidz also plays an active role in the Sandwell Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme, offering enriching sessions during school holidays, and contributes to Create a Payable Sandwell, helping to provide meaningful, accessible opportunities that reduce inequality and promote positive futures. This is more than childcare—it’s community development in action, helping to shape stronger, healthier, and more hopeful young lives.

Lifeline counselling has saved me from me. I have learnt how to deal with toxic energy and how to direct positive energy. Sue is amazing and feels more like I'm talking to a friend than a counsellor.
