About Us
Bermuda Is Love (Registered Charity #1051) is dedicated to building a community of love where everyone’s basic needs are secured. Our mission is to ensure the practical provision of basic needs such as food, housing, clothing, healthcare, education, access to justice, and a healthy environment for all individuals in Bermuda.
Our Vision
A Bermuda where we all recognize and act on our duty to care for and love one another.
Our Mission
To create a Bermuda where everyone’s basic needs – food, housing, clothing, healthcare, education, justice, and a healthy environment – are secured and guaranteed by law.
Our History
Founded by Aaron Crichlow in August 2020, Bermuda Is Love began as a simple yet powerful idea: a group of friends united by a shared desire to address socio-economic issues and create a stronger, more compassionate community. Inspired by a deep commitment to equality and social justice, we recognized that meaningful change begins with collective action. Bermuda Is Love became a Registered Charity in September 2024.
Our Ideology
We believe that fulfilling basic human needs is essential for love to flourish within society. When individuals have their basic needs met they are empowered to connect more meaningfully with one another. This foundation fosters a community built on love, care, and a shared sense of responsibility.
Our mission is to ensure that every individual in Bermuda, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to the fundamental necessities of life. These include food, housing, clothing, healthcare, education, justice, and a healthy environment—needs we recognize as universal human rights rather than privileges. We strive to enshrine these rights into law and to create a systems within society where they are universally upheld because we love each other and want to see each other flourish.
At the same time, we aim to inspire a cultural transformation, awakening hearts and minds to embrace the duty to love one another. Life’s purpose should not center on amassing wealth but on treating others with love, care, respect, and kindness, simply because they are human.
Our goal is to shift Bermuda’s culture from one that prioritizes materialism, greed, and competition to one that celebrates selflessness, community, and cooperation. In this society, everyone will recognize and act on their shared duty to love each other.
What "Bermuda Is Love" Means
“Bermuda Is Love” encapsulates our vision: to love others, care for others, show kindness, act selflessly, and build systems that are rooted in love and humanity. To serve others in the name of love is the essence of what it means to be truly human. Bermuda Is Love means that all individuals in Bermuda must act on their duty to love others, and that our economic, cultural, political, legal, and social systems must be rooted in love. If not, then it is oppression.
We believe in creating a world where every individual, regardless of background or circumstance, can thrive and contribute positively to society.
What We Do
Bermuda Is Love is a community-focused charity and social justice organisation in Bermuda that works to build a more compassionate, equitable and thriving society by helping meet people’s basic needs and advocating for systemic change.
We hold regular events, launch numerous campaigns, organise various programs, and advocate for many causes that all centre around our seven key pillars of human rights. We frame our work around human rights as they are crucial for sustainably protecting vulnerable people and the environment. Linking our efforts to these rights creates legal pathways for advancing climate activism and social justice, addressing systemic issues at their root rather than with temporary fixes.
Viewing basic needs as guaranteed rights—not privileges or charity—underscores the collective responsibility of individuals, organizations, companies, and governments to respect, protect, and fulfill them for everyone.

-
Building Community: We organize events, host discussions, and create spaces where people come together to support each other.
-
Raising Awareness: Through targeted campaigns, we help raise awareness of the urgent need for social change and action.
-
Meeting Basic Needs: Through our various programs, we provide immediate support to those facing challenges, including food distribution, clothing assistance, legal advice, and educational resources.
-
Advocating for Systemic Change: Our advocacy efforts are supported by seven working groups, each focused on one of the seven pillars of Bermuda Is Love. These groups actively work to address systemic issues, push for policies that uphold human rights, and engage with the public to advocate for change and create systems of dual power.
Real and lasting change begins with connection. We believe that community is the foundation of a just and compassionate society. When people come together in shared purpose, empathy grows, trust deepens, and meaningful action becomes possible.
We build community by:
-
Organizing regular volunteer events that bring people from all walks of life together
-
Hosting discussions, workshops, and forums that encourage dialogue and shared understanding
-
Creating safe and inclusive spaces where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued
-
Partnering with like-minded organizations to strengthen collective impact
Through these efforts, we nurture relationships rooted in love, mutual respect, and cooperation. Community-building transforms strangers into neighbors, and neighbors into collaborators working toward a shared vision for Bermuda.
When we build community, we build the social foundation necessary to secure everyone’s basic needs.
Lasting change requires awareness. Many systemic issues—poverty, food insecurity, housing instability, inequality, environmental degradation—persist because they are misunderstood, normalized, or ignored.
We raise awareness by:
-
Launching targeted monthly campaigns focused on specific human rights issues
-
Creating educational content such as infographics, posters, videos, interviews, and articles
-
Hosting public discussions and educational events
-
Sharing stories that humanize complex social challenges
-
Encouraging thoughtful conversations across generations and communities
Our goal is not simply to inform, but to awaken hearts and minds. We aim to help people understand that basic needs are not privileges or charity—they are human rights.
By increasing public understanding, we cultivate empathy. And empathy inspires action.
While we work toward long-term systemic change, we recognize that people need support today. Love requires action, and action means responding to immediate needs within our community.
We meet basic needs through practical, community-centered programs, including:
-
School breakfast programs to combat child hunger
-
Gardening clubs that teach food sustainability
-
Free legal advice clinics to expand access to justice
-
Clothing drives and swap events to promote dignity and sustainability
-
Educational workshops and scholarship initiatives
-
Rental-readiness programs to empower tenants
-
Blood drives and health clinics to save lives
These initiatives do more than provide services—they restore dignity, create opportunity, and strengthen resilience.
By directly addressing food insecurity, housing challenges, lack of access to justice, and other barriers, we help stabilize lives. Stability enables individuals and families to flourish, participate fully in society, and contribute to the collective good.
Meeting basic needs is both an act of compassion and a step toward justice.
Charity alone cannot solve structural inequality. To build a Bermuda where everyone’s basic needs are guaranteed, we must transform the systems that shape our society.
Our advocacy work is guided by our seven human rights pillars and carried out through dedicated Working Groups that:
-
Research systemic issues affecting Bermuda
-
Draft policy recommendations and legislative proposals
-
Engage with government officials and stakeholders
-
Advocate for rights-based frameworks in public policy
-
Promote accountability and transparency
-
Mobilize community members to participate in democratic processes and build dual power
We focus on embedding human rights—such as the right to food, housing, healthcare, education, justice, clothing, and a healthy environment—into law and policy.
By shifting from short-term fixes to structural solutions, we address root causes rather than symptoms. Our goal is to secure lasting protections that ensure dignity, equality, and opportunity for all.
