Activities
'It carries out activities or services itself'
'the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'
The charity was established over 40years ago when a need was recognised to provide a transportation service for the elderly with health issues that have no means of attending hospital, GP and dental appointments. This continues to be a key service offered by Linlithgow Link and is provided by approximately 50 volunteers. Over subsequent years the charity has expanded its services which now include, befriending, Tuesday Group (an opportunity for clients to meet every week for games/arts and crafts/entertainment, coffee and cake) and Caring Cafe (an opportunity for clients with dementia and their carers to meet for entertainment, coffee and cake). These services offer companionship and support to older people in the community with the benefit of reducing isolation. In addition various day trips and special lunches are organised through out the year by a dedicated group of volunteers and committee members.
Objectives: The primary aim and objective of Linlithgow Link will be to work with volunteers, the community and the voluntary and statutory caring bodies in West Lothian, and in particular within Linlithgow, to provide a voluntary caring service in whatever manner it may be deemed possible. the services provided may include services to support and enhance the caring services provided by the statutory caring bodies in such manner as may be agreed from time to time between Linlithgow Link and the statutory caring bodies who provide funding to support the objectives of Linlithgow Link.
