The Links Foundation was launched in 2003 as a charitable trust.

Since its launch, the Trust has provided vital funds to a diverse range of community groups to help provide facilities and services to improve the conditions of life.

The Trust funds new or existing projects and can help meet costs such as salary, rent and stationery as well as capital costs.

Individuals or core costs are not funded.

Applications may be made at any time.  The trustees meet up to four times a year in line with demand. At these meeting the board assess where grants will be distributed.
