About Us
The Weir Link is a community-led organisation that has supported local families and residents since 2003. Our mission is to provide sustainable services, work with expert partners, and be a catalyst for positive change across the community.
Following extensive consultation, our purpose-built Community and Children’s Centre opened in 2008. From the beginning, The Weir Link has been more than a building — it is a welcoming, inclusive space where people of all ages and backgrounds can learn, connect, and thrive.
We focus on strengthening families, reducing isolation, and building a safer, more confident and connected community. Our activities range from education and training to health workshops, arts, youth programmes, advice sessions, and community events. We also provide affordable space for hire, supporting groups who deliver valuable local activities.
Today, The Weir Link is home to a nursery for children aged 0–5 (provided by LEYF) and the Bridge to Work programme, alongside many community-led sessions.
We are committed to transparency and welcome interest in our work. For more information or to view our annual reports, please contact hello@theweirlink.org.uk. Our annual reports are available on the UK Charity Commission website here.
Management Structure
The Staff and Trustees
The centre has a Centre Director, a Facilities & Bookings Co-ordinator and an Activities & Events Co-ordinator who work with the Trustees on the expansion of activities, strategic development and sustainability.
The Weir Link is managed by and for local people. Currently there are six trustees but a recruitment drive is underway for more Trustees as The Weir Link plans to expand its activities. The Trustees are responsible for the building, finances, strategic planning, staffing and delivering service contracts.
