We are building sustainable, caring and cohesive communities in Lancashire

For over 30 years we’ve used creative and participatory learning experiences to increase awareness of the global dimension to our lives and encourage action towards a fairer and more sustainable world. As a dynamic local charity, we deliver global education and community heritage projects in schools and local communities, as well as provide holistic refugee and asylum seeker support.

‘Global Link is my home.’
