LinC Hornsby (page updated July 2026)

About Us

The LinC Hornsby Affiliate is currently comprised of volunteers and supporters from local Christian churches, in the Hornsby Council area and the northern part of the Ku-ring-gai Council area, and it has been in operation for about 35 years. In fact, we were the first LinC Affiliate to operate in Australia when World Vision first borrowed the idea from the USA.

“LinC” stands for ‘Love in the Name of Christ’ and our volunteers show this Love in practical ways to people in our community who are in need of help of some kind. LinC provides practical ways for individual Christians to be use their skills, gifts, and resources to
show love, in action, in their community.

In order for the LinC ministry to be effective at the local level, good relationships must be established and maintained in a mutually beneficial, three-way relationship between local agencies, the LinC Referral Office and the participating churches. Cooperation, not
duplication, is the aim.

Our Volunteers

Currently we have active Volunteers from Christian Churches in the NSW suburbs of Hornsby, Asquith, Mount Colah, Berowra, Cherrybrook, Waitara and Turramurra.

Our services to those in need

Transport

We offer free transport for those who have difficulty getting to medical and other appointments, if we have a volunteer available at the required date and time. Reasonable notice needs to be given. Transport to shopping centres and other facilities is generally only available on a short term basis, e.g. following a medical procedure.

TeleLinC

We reach out by phone to build enduring friendships with those who need to have regular contact with a caring person, who is willing to listen.

NewsLinC

We compile a newsletter 3 or 4 times year and distribute it to all our volunteers and supporters, including to the leadership of their commending churches.

Tea at the Hornsby Court House

We serve free Tea and Coffee at Hornsby Courthouse on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month between 9am and noon.
