City Links exists to foster, forge and further unity between churches and organisations. We promote partnerships towards spiritual and social transformation across the UK. Based on 15 years of experience, which has been pioneered in the North-West, we are seeing amazing results. Crime rates are falling in the areas where the police and church are working together in a strategic way.
The transformation and impact is being felt in communities across the UK and beyond!
