Learning Links is a charitable not for profit organisation established in 1972 by parents concerned about the lack of appropriate education and support services to meet their children’s needs.
We work to prevent learning difficulties from causing disadvantage by making high quality services available to children and young people in need, and by advocating on their behalf. We receive limited government funding and support our charitable purpose through our social enterprise and fundraising activities. Collaborating with our stakeholders, we work to ensure that our services and advocacy contribute effectively to the sector we operate in.
