LinC = Love in the name of Christ

How does LinC operate?
Individuals or agencies on behalf of a person or family in need contact our Referral Call Centre. The Centre staff then assess whether LinC can provide the assistance requested. If so, the staff will arrange one or more suitable volunteers from a member church to help the person or family at a mutually acceptable time.
We respect the client’s confidentiality at all times. All volunteers have police checks.
