Linkage Community Trust (Linkage) is a registered charity which provides a high standard of care, specialist further education and employment services to enable people with learning disabilities to realise their full potential.
Linkage was established in 1976 and owes its origins to the recognition that, for many people with varying degrees of learning difficulty, there is a shortage of appropriate support for them to lead creative and purposeful lives in the community.
