For the future...
We want lovecove.com to represent our desires for the city of Coventry and to call us all to act on bringing it about. We want to see the city excel in sport, education, business; we want crime to reduce, young offenders to become a rarity. We believe that Coventry can be a world leader in bringing an end to poverty and homelessness. The list can go on...

Loving people is sometimes easy, but is often hard and takes effort on our part. The thing is, we all love being loved, so why don't we pass it on?
Maybe it's because it's hard. Maybe we're busy. Maybe it's because most people are cynical and think you have another motive.
We think that as long as we would like people to treat us with love and respect, there is no reason too great to get out there and love Cov. And for us, the most important part of it isn't really even the thing that we do, it's that we have looked around and noticed someone.
To take the time to notice people, whether in need or not, is at the core of Love Cov. Let's not make it unusual to strike up a converstion with a stranger, help someone who needs a hand, or even just smile and say "hello" to passers by. Our actions can help shape a better atmoshpehere in our homes, pubs, streets, shops, or wherever we go. It's simple, but challenging!
Are you up for it?
"People look at me gone out when I do this stuff."
"It gives you an enourmous sense of happiness when you make someone smile."
"It feels good to be spreading something positive"
"It's strangely scary to do, but you feel great for having done it!"
"Who wants to live in a society where it's abnormal to say hello and smile at each other?"
