Community Links

Community Links is an innovative east London charity working with 30,000 people each year.

We have over 30 years experience working in one of the most deprived, diverse and vibrant areas in the UK. Half our staff live locally and 40% are former service users or volunteers. Our work is about far more than numbers, but here are some.

Last year we:

• Ran youth clubs and children’s activities for almost 4000 young people
• Advised almost 9,000 people with benefits, housing and debt problems
• Ran the most successful New Deal project in London and the South East, helping over 5,000 people look for work
• Worked with 144 young people excluded from mainstream education, in our own Community Links school, notching up a 93% A*-G pass rate at GCSE
• Organised 35 grassroots meetings around the country, with over 550 participants, as part of our work on the European Year Against Poverty.
