CHARITIES WE SUPPORT

Proudly supporting local and national charities

At Link Contracting, we recognise the importance of doing our part to support charities and good causes which is why we have partnered with several different charities since the company was founded in 1990.

Building these relationships connects our employees directly to the people who need the help that we can provide, be that through fundraising or more directly through one of our many community projects. Our fund-raising team organise various different events throughout the year to raise money, spread joy and help our communities! Take a look at our social media to see what we are up to each month!

Armed Forces Covenant

We at Link recognise the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business and to our country. We pledge to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:

  • promoting the fact that we are an Armed Forces-friendly organisation, to our staff, customers, suppliers, contractors and wider public.
  • supporting the employment of veterans, recognising military skills and qualifications in our recruitment and selection process; working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) to support the employment of Service leavers.

We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing. Keep your eyes peeled for more information! #forourforces #teamlink

Guide Dogs UK

Guide Dogs UK are an important charity partnership for Link as they provide and train Guide dogs to assist people with visual impairment so that they have the confidence and support to live their lives to the full. Their ambition is to reach and support 500,00 individuals by 2023. They currently support 200,00 individuals who have a visual impairment.

Despite the devastation caused by sight loss, 70% of adults receive no support within the first 12 months of diagnosis, and are likely to encounter poor education, high unemployment, depression, loneliness and financial insecurity throughout their lifetime.

The rise in the UK’s elderly population continues to impact social care. With shortages in funding, local authorities have prioritised the services they provide, leaving the third sector under great pressure to plug gaps.

Childhood sight loss is on the increase. There are around 35,000 children and young people living with a vision impairment in the UK. Some 80% of a child’s learning takes place using vision, and every day they go without support can affect their development.

Guide Dogs UK provide the following services:

  • Canine services
  • In-person services
  • Online and telephone service
  • Influencing and campaigning

They also carry out research on Canine science – to support the behaviour, health and wellbeing of our dogs.

Human behavioural sciences – to support the emotional wellbeing of our service users, their family and friends.
