Information for Professionals
Can we help support you and your clients?
Each year we help over 5,000 vulnerable people and children. We are able to do this by working with more than 200 agencies and charities in the community to support people in need across Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire.
Our partners make applications on behalf of their clients (rather than clients self-referring). This way of working enables us to most efficiently get help to those who need it when they need it.
If you work with individuals or families who are experiencing hardship please see the information below on how to make an application on behalf of a client or get in touch to see how we may be able to help.
We provide essential items, such as clothing, beds, furniture, medical and mobility equipment and, in emergencies, assistance with food and utilities to those in need. Where there is a crisis or immediate need, for example in cases of domestic violence or those facing homelessness, we are able to act quickly.
If you have not used our service before you can download our guidelines from the resources box below or contact our team: e: info@charity-link.org.
