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. Established in 1976, the charity 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. Linkage aims to change that so thatpeople with learning difficulties and disabilities have opportunities and choice and are supported to achieve their aspirations.
