Trust Links has grown from a visionary idea into a thriving charity rooted in community wellbeing, green therapy, and social connection. Beginning with a derelict plot on Fairfax Drive in Westcliff, early work led to the creation of Growing Together through a £500,000 regeneration grant. Over the years, we have expanded our services, from mental health support and environmental education to international partnerships and pioneering and impactful projects like REACH Recovery College and Youth Links. Despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, we have swiftly adapted through digital initiatives and inclusive programmes and look forward to launching our new Wellbeing App soon. With site expansions across Essex, innovative projects, and a firm embrace of technology and holistic person-centred care, Trust Links strives to continue to fill gaps in services, growing community and transforming lives.
We could not have achieved any of this without all of the amazing people that have contributed along the way. From our pioneering founders and early staff members and volunteers to the thousands of members and supporters who have engaged with Trust Links’ services and events over the years. Our funders, stakeholders, partners, donors and trustees have each helped to build Trust Links. Our outstanding staff, volunteers and members are what makes Trust Links the special place it is today. Thank you!
