Links@40: A Ruby Year to Inspire Generosity
Join us as we fuel the next chapter of mission and partnership
Our 40th anniversary isn’t just a time to look back - it’s a moment to step boldly into what’s ahead. That’s why we’ve launched our Links@40 Ruby Anniversary Appeal, with a bold ambition to raise £40,000 to support the next phase of our global work.
Rubies are rich in meaning - symbolising enduring love, influence and vigilance - and those qualities are woven through Links’ 40-year story. With your help, this appeal will power:
- Expanded leadership training for community partners
- Stronger health, justice and education initiatives
- Faster emergency response and disaster relief
- Deeper, more sustainable global collaborations
- Innovative approaches to community development and outreach
This is more than a fundraising goal - it’s a call to every reader, partner and friend to be part of building resilient futures for communities around the world.
Why It Matters
For 40 years, Links has believed that transformation happens best through long-term relationships, shared learning and local leadership. Rather than imposing solutions, we walk alongside communities - equipping, training and celebrating success together. That’s the heart of Links.
Your support - whether through reading, sharing, praying or giving - helps make this vision real.
Donate, fundraise or explore how you can be part of the movement at Links@40. Because when we confront poverty, and create potential together - lasting transformation is possible.

Stepping into Ghana for the very first time felt like walking back into the roots of Links International’s story. It was here, over 40 years ago, that our founders Norman and Grace Barnes first connected with inspiring missionaries and began building the partnerships that would shape Links’ mission.

South Sudan is the world’s newest country, having gained independence from Sudan in 2011. Unfortunately, despite abundant natural resources, it is also the world’s poorest country. Here is an update from our amazing Act4You project, Supporting Child Health in South Sudan.

In Malawi over a decade ago, in a small rural community, Links took a chance on what many thought was just a fad - moringa trees, sensationalised at the time as 'Miracle Trees'. Packed with vitamins and minerals, edible for both humans and livestock, fast‑growing and hardy in hot climates, these trees seemed to have real potential.
