What is Cornwall Link

Cornwall Link is an online platform that connects people to the community, by providing information on a wide range of services, groups and organisations in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Aiming to provide individuals, families, carers, volunteers and healthcare professionals with access to services and community-based activities that will reduce social isolation and improve health & wellbeing. You can simply use the Search box to find listings in your area.

We made Cornwall Link because we saw two needs in Cornwall.

  1. To provide the public with better and clear access to the support they need.
  2. Deliver an interactive and responsive database for health and wellbeing professionals to use in their work.

Cornwall has a lot of services and support, but it can be difficult to find information on what you need when you need it.

We have worked with the community and organisations to develop Cornwall Link to meet community needs and develop new features that make our Cornwall directory better. 

Cornwall Link is a complimentary service to our community information and advice helpline – 01872 266383. 

Who is it for?

Cornwall Link is for everyone looking for or providing support services for Cornwall. The support could be local, county-wide or national services but all listings on the Cornwall Link serve Cornish residents. 

 While the platform is managed by Age UK Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly, who specialise in assisting those over 50 years old, the Cornwall Link platform is for everyone to find or offer help– regardless of age, interests or needs.

Our platform welcomes and includes family and child support services. While members must be over 16 to register, parents or trusted adults can help members below this age with their searches.

Our platform also helps professionals working in the health and care sector with signposting, collaboration, networking and promotion within Cornwall. 

Important Update | Cornwall Link | 21st December 2022

Age UK Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly have managed and grown the Cornwall Link website since it was launched in 2017. We have worked continuously to increase membership and listings (entries) playing a pivotal role in providing health and well-being-related information, useful tips and advice, particularly during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.We are reviewing how our services will operate post-pandemic and in response to changes in health and social care, which has already seen the introduction of the new collaborative Gateway service. It means we have made the difficult decision not to continue hosting Cornwall Link after 31 March 2023.We have informed Made Open, who provide the technical essentials underpinning Cornwall Link, without whose support it would not have been possible.We welcome, and encourage, the discussions underway to establish if another organisation would like to continue with the operation of Cornwall Link. We cannot guarantee that will happen but will definitely help in any way we can. If the opportunity to run Cornwall Link is something you are interested in, please do get in touch with us.Please be assured we continue to approve listings, and encourage organisations and individuals to promote themselves, their volunteer opportunities and events. Cornwall Link will continue to offer support through the winter months until the end of March 2023.Thank you for all your support and use of Cornwall Link making it the community platform FOR the community.
