Working Links, specialists in helping long term unemployed people back into work has launched a new separate charitable entity which will invest in community projects nationwide.

A spokesperson for The Links Foundation explained why it was set up: “we know from
the past achievements of the Community Reinvestment Fund what a big difference it can make for local projects to be able to access funding without overly complex rules and procedures governing their award.”

The foundation’s board will decide which projects to fund based on “straightforward proposals” and will maintain contact with selected initiatives to ensure effective use of the funds.
