“After working at Velotecha, I developed new skills, I know more things about bikes than I ever thought I would. I know a whole other trade now and I helped to build a business.”
“The people and programs at The Link gave me the chance to envision a different future for myself and my family.”
“The drum group helped me realize that together, we help each other grow and we give each other strength.”
“I couldn’t have done it without my foster parents.”
“The best part about fostering is when a child comes to you and says ‘I love you.'”

The Link`s Youth Hub received an inspirational donation recently...a wonderful parcel that included an easel, canvases, paper, art books, paints and brushes.
A very big thank you in recognition of Murray Parker, an amateur artist who believed in the power of art.
We look forward to seeing the colour and creativity Murray inspires!
