Linkage Community Trust, commonly referred to as Linkage, is a registered charity that supports people with learning disabilities, autism or both. We deliver high quality specialist education, care (including residential), adult day services, employability and support services throughout Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Trust was established in 1976 in recognition that there was a distinct shortage of appropriate support to help people with varying degrees of learning difficulties and disabilities to lead creative and purposeful lives in the community. This remains the case today. Everything we do is about valuing and supporting individuals, their carers’ and families to ensure that they can achieve their aspirations. We are committed to creating opportunities to improve the lives of individuals now and in future generations. Our vision is that people with learning disabilities, autism or both have opportunities and choice and are supported to achieve their aspirations. Our mission is to provide person-centred services that enable individuals to develop skills and behaviours to live independent lives.
