LINks were established in April 2008. There are now 151 LINks set around England – every local authority with a responsibility for social services has a LINk.

Local Involvement Networks (LINks) aim to give citizens a stronger voice in how health and social care services are delivered.

The Halton LINk is an independent network made up of individuals, community groups and organisations working together, to speak as one voice to influence and shape local health and social care services.

Our aim is to put people and communities at the heart of health and social care services, making sure that people's views are heard at all levels.

Our job is to find out what you like and dislike about local services and work with people who plan and run them to help make them better for everyone in Halton.

The Halton LINk will not replace other groups and networks in the community, but will help bring people and groups together and make it easier for them to have their say.
