Linkes

General information

LINKES is a community project in Glasgow, Scotland - run by the community for the community.

LINKES takes its name from Lincoln Avenue and Kestrel road - the streets which surround the multi-storey flats where we are based.

We take a Community Development Approach to our work, which means that we aim to keep in touch with the people in the community in order to respond to expressed needs and opportunities.

The core of our work is providing a weekly programme of groups and activities with our partners . We also signpost people to other services, organisations and agencies. We are interested in capacity building and support local people to develop their skills, experience and knowledge to benefit the wider community.

We are also interested in integration and coordinate or participate in a number of events and campaigns throughout the year to bring people together.

We have a weekly timetable of activities and groups - youth clubs, after-school play sessions, a seniors lunch club, a women's group as well as computer drop-in sessions and Ignite Theatre drama groups.
