Why we are here
We are committed to making lives better for local people and to use our experiences to help others across the country.
Locality Links CIC aims to inspire local people to take part in society as equal members. We want society to be fairer, more inclusive and more cohesive. We promote participation, by supporting individuals and groups in opening up opportunities and to take the lead in making positive and effective contributions to the world they live in.
Our Vision:
To support the development of ‘caring communities’ whose residents are involved in building an exciting future based on co-operation, sustainability, enterprise and openness to change
We are committed to making lives better for local people and to use our experiences to help others across the country.
We help individuals and communities across London and the south east to carry out hundreds of projects each year. Tackling loneliness and isolation and helping people to foster stronger communities.
Locality Links ensures that all services and activities are of a high standard. Locality Links CIC is registered with the Office of the Regulator of Community Interest Companies and Social Enterprise UK.
With funding now scarce we started to look at other ways to support communities. One of these was the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach.
The ABCD approach is a different way of thinking about how to work for change – starting from a place of possibilities, strengths and capacities, as opposed to problems and deficiencies.
All of the communities in which we have implemented the ABCD approach have reported a dramatic increase in the levels of community activity, social networks and groups, and connections between residents. Over 100 community led projects have emerged.
