          Welcome to Leicester Charity Link

          Thank you for visiting our website and for taking an interest in our work.

          Each year we help over 5,000 local people who are experiencing poverty, hardship and crisis by seeking funds to provide everyday essentials that most of us take for granted, such as a bed to sleep in, a cooker to prepare a hot meal or even food to eat! The smallest amount of money, help and support can make a huge difference to people's lives.

          In these difficult economic times we are already witnessing an increase in the number of people who need our help, and this makes our work even more challenging.

          Everyday we help change the lives of people like...

          Mark's Story

          15 year old Mark15 year old Mark cares for his Mum who is ill and his younger sister.

          Mark tried his best to keep their home clean but this was impossible due to the poor state of the furnishings. When we found out about Mark we also discovered that he had been sleeping on the sofa as he did not have a bed. With little money, the responsibility of caring for both his mum and sister and balancing school had taken its toll on Mark.

          We made applications to several national charities and managed to get a bed, new carpets and a cooker.

          Just £450 transformed Mark's life.


          We are the link between those who need help and those who can help
