Green Heart support

Helping people live more confident lives

our mission

We want to make more people, more confident, more of the time. 

  • Back in June 2017 we launched Green Heart support which is our way of providing help and support to our customers and members who are going through some of life’s toughest challenges, giving them confidence when they need it most.
  • Sometimes life can throw us a curveball and our confidence takes a hit. Green Heart support is all about bettering the lives of the people that trust us to look out for them – they’re at the heart of everything we do.
Our customer stories

Green Heart support has helped 1374 customers and members

Green Heart Experiences No 136

Whilst on holiday Jane’s fiancé Keith was struck down with an unknown illness. Back home, doctors were baffled as Keith was still unable to talk or function normally. We paid for a month’s worth of hospital parking for Jane to take some stress and expense away. We also sent a luxury hamper so she could relax after exhausting days at the hospital.

Green Heart Experiences No 223

David had been checking parking fees at a car park meter when two men mugged him and stole his car. We sent a purifying food processor and a recipe book to help him while he recovered from a broken jaw at home.

Green Heart Experiences No 162

Two years ago, 60 year old Hannah was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and now needs constant care. Her husband had organised for some workmen to create a bedroom and wet room for her and we wanted to do something to minimise the disruption. We sent our customers some Wiltshire Farm Food vouchers so they could have some food delivered whilst their home was being adapted.

Green Heart Experiences No 13

Nadia needed to get away after witnessing a traumatic accident so we organised for her and her husband to stay in a nice hotel. Whilst waiting for the ambulance she’d comforted an injured person who’d been hit by a drunk driver.

Green Heart Experiences No 55

Our member Carol lost her daughter who had a life-limiting condition and was struggling to cope after her loss. Once her daughter’s full-time carer, Carol was now lonely so we sent a luxury throw and some financial support to provide a sentiment of comfort.

How does LV= Green Heart support work?

Because of the nature of our business we sometimes hear stories where our customers and members are going through a challenging or stressful time. 

We empower our customer service teams to trigger support when they identify customers who are in real need. 

We want our employees to feel that, by working for LV=, they are part of a business that makes a difference to thousands of lives each year and are the ones that know more than anyone the tough situations our customers can find themselves in. Where our people identify that a greater level of support is needed, or when members apply directly, we have an internal committee to help decide how we can best help.
