Friend-Link
Introducing Friend-Link
It can be difficult for anybody to make friends and join groups in the community. Having a disability can make it even harder.
Friends are an important part of everyone's life and friendships benefit both parties.
Friend-Link was founded in 1992 to assist people to establish friendships and to belong to community groups with people who share common interests with them.
Friend-Link listens to what the people who use this service are saying about the gaps in their lives. This ensures that we are doing what they want us to do and in ways that they choose.
