About Us
“A visionary organisation which believes passionately in giving individuals the tools to build their own ladder out of poverty”
Sir David Walker, previous Chairman, now Senior Advisor, Morgan Stanley International and Chair of Community Links Leadership Group.
Community Links is an innovative charity running community-based projects in east London. Founded in 1977, we help over thousands of vulnerable children, young people and adults every year, with most of our work delivered in Newham, a borough which ranks highly on the index of deprivation. Our successes influence both community-based organisations nationwide and government policy. Most of our staff are local to east London and many of these are former users of our services.
