Celebrating Bristol LINk event
We would like to invite Bristol LINk participants to celebrate with us as LINk ends on March 27th at the Vassall Centre Conference Room 2pm - 4pm we hope to see you there!
Interim Annual Report
We now have an interim Annual Report available to view here.
The LINk held a successful community roadshow at Cabot Circus during half term and the team spoke to many young people to share their view on whether they would like a 'Young Healthwatch' in future. 27 young people signed up and one lucky young person won the Cabot Circus vouchers.
