Just Love is a Christian social justice charity that works with students and graduates in the UK. Its vision is "to inspire and release every Christian student to pursue the biblical call to social justice."

Founded in Oxford in 2013, Just Love now supports hundreds of students throughout the UK and graduates throughout the world.


 * Students: There are student-led Just Love committees in universities across the UK, who campaign on justice issues, fundraise for effective charities, and volunteer in their local communities.
 * Graduates: Just Love's Alumni Network provides support for graduates, particularly in their careers. Just Love runs small discipleship groups (called "Sixes"), career support networks ("Spheres"), and an annual alumni conference.

Just Love works with many other organisations, and has two key partners: International Justice Mission and Tearfund.

History

Just Love began with a group of students in Oxford in 2013, and by 2014 one of these students, Tom Christmas, started working for Just Love full time and soon formed a trustee board. By 2017, there were 13 Just Love student groups, a staff team of 6, and the Just Love Alumni Network was launched. As of June 2021, there are 25 Just Love groups across the UK: since 2013, Just Love students have run over 5,000 events, raised over £150,000 for other charities, and contributed 31,000 volunteer hours in their local communities. Just Love has a team of 11 staff, a trustee board, and an advisory board that includes Krish Kandiah, Andy Flannagan, and Miriam Swanson.
