Our Story
Why Leicester Community Links was created
Leicester Community Links CIC was founded after recognising a gap in how wellbeing services were being delivered in Leicester.
There was a need for a more holistic approach, one that raised awareness of available support while helping people build the confidence and tools to improve their mental health and overall wellbeing.
Our work is rooted in social value. When people are supported to make healthier lifestyle choices, the benefits can reach families, communities and the wider city.
