Proud that Community Links contributed to From Disparity to Fairness: Legal Access in Newham, highlighting the lack of housing & immigration advice in the borough. We're appointing a new Housing Solicitor to lead our free advice service, needed now more than ever

Wonderful to see our local MP speaking on this important topic and amplifying the voice of our young people in the halls of power. Lyn is a wonderful advocate, ensuring young people's voice is part of the debate! @Catch22

A pleasure to host HRH The Princess Royal, at Community Links, where she saw some of Catch22’s Commissioned Rehabilitative Services. We’re hugely grateful she opened our new wellbeing room, providing a valuable holistic space to support the wellbeing of staff.
