Proven Outcomes
Our recent research results speak for themselves. Almost 4 out of 5 Links continue to meet regularly beyond the first 12 months. More than a third of all Links last for 5 years or more to become an "extended family" support network.
Linked parents report the following of their children:
A majority see an increase in confidence in their child, and a feeling of greater support and community connectedness
More than half see an increase in their child´s interaction with family and friends
Linked aunts & uncles report the following of their nieces or nephews:
Four out of five children have improved general behaviour
A significant majority agree they feel safer and more secure in their life
A majority agree they appear to have more friends, are more involved in the community and have increased their ability to trust adults
More than half agree their interest in school has improved, as has their relationship with family members
