Charity Link

Charity Link Working since 1876 to ensure people in need are warm, safe and fed and have the basic essential items they need for a decent standard of living.

We now support over 5,000 each year in Leics, Rutland and Northants. With the support of the local community, we help people and children who are experiencing hardship and crisis by providing essential items including beds, cookers, clothing and, in emergencies, food. There are numerous ways to get involved, from donating, supporting an event (or organising your own!), choosing us as your charity of the year, joining our Proud Business Supporter Club or volunteering.

This is the last month to get involved in our second Go4it Challenge!

Go without your bed to give a bed 🛏

Could you sleep without your bed for one night (or more!) to raise funds and give a bed for a person or child without one?

Due to our innovative way of working, every £35 you raise is enough to provide a bed... so how many beds can you give!

It is a special day for us today - our 150th birthday 🎂 (we don't look it though!)

Our staff have expressed how much of a honour and privilege it is to be part of such a milestone for the charity.

150 years after we were founded by local philanthropists to help people in need, we are still here, carrying our vital work to ensure that local people and children are warm, safe and fed and have a decent standard of living.

Happy birthday Charity Link!
