150 Years of Helping Hands

Leicester’s Charity Link turns 150 this year, tracing its roots back to 1876 when local leaders gathered to fight poverty. Through pandemics, wars, and economic crises, they’ve stayed true to their mission: helping everyone reach their full potential. Today, they support 5,000 people annually across three counties, with a third being young people, offering essentials like beds, clothes, and medical supplies through 250+ local partners. To mark the milestone, they’re hosting a birthday ball, a Three Peaks hike, and a thank-you event, plus a new timeline showcasing their legacy. CEO Sue McEniff says she’s honored to lead at this historic moment—and that while she hopes the need for their services will fade, the demand is stronger than ever.
