Description of Organisation or Group

Link-Upp came about through a partnership between Contact a Family (West Midlands), Carers' Support Initiative and Birmingham Carers' Association.

The name Link-Upp reflects the reason for its creation - to enable sharing of information and ideas between groups for parents of children with special needs. It soon became clear that there was also a need for parents themselves to share information about what groups exist and what those groups do. There are many parent support groups in the Birmingham area, and it was previously difficult for parents to find out about them. Through its activities, Link-Upp aims to make this information more easily available.
