St Helens LINk has been set up to make sure that health and social care services meet the needs of local people.

LINk (Local Involvement Network) is a network made up of individuals and organisations and aims to give people a greater say in the health and social care services they receive. We are totally independent from the organisations which provide these services, including the Council and NHS.

"I felt LINk offered me the opportunity to have my opinions recognised...I do feel encouraged that I can do something about the future. It has given me the confidence to believe that there are organisations who defend the rights and speak on behalf of the ordinary person."
