LAVA Advisory Partners has created a unique solution to solve the funding needs of new residential health care business, Learn 2 Live Youth Clinic, allowing them to acquire and develop their first site ahead of their summer 2023 opening.
Learn 2 Live is a residential clinic helping teenagers overcome challenges with mental ill health and related high-risk behaviors, including addiction. The Clinic will provide a ten-week residential course for those most in need; creating a safe environment where young people can build their strength, confidence and resilience from within, with the center aiming to ensure that no family struggles to get help with their child's mental health.
FoundingCEO,Luchie Cawood,identified astark shortage of beds in the UK for thistype of residential care which led to her establishing the business.Luchie was previously CEO ofEaton House Schools Group, whichshegrewwith the support of Sovereign Capital, prior toits sale to Dukes Education which was led byLAVA in 2021.
As traditional finance houses would struggle with providing funding so early in Learn 2 Live's life cycle, LAVA took a creative approach to the challenge and leveraged its wide-reaching relationships in an ever-growing funding landscape to hunt down a unique solution.
LAVA's approach included reviewing a number of alternative options and led them to create a solution which involved working with a past client from the education sector, Mark Beaumont, who after selling his school group, Claremont to International School Partnership, now leads the Beaumont Family Office.
Whilst Learn 2 Live Youth Clinic is a new venture, the deal was unlocked through leveraging long-term and trusting relationships with two previous clients who LAVA has grown to understand over time. This demonstrates the benefits of the longer-term relationships LAVA Advisory Partners likes to build with its clients. We look forward to continuing to provide advice and support through the acquisition and development of future sites for Learn 2 Live.
