News from the Secretariat

Quarterly update: April to June 2010

Link’s Management Committee held an action-packed away day on 24 June at Plantlife’s offices in Salisbury. Discussions during the day focused on up-coming work priorities for Link, including the Natural Environment White Paper and our response to the spending cuts.

Work is now continuing at full throttle on both of these issues and our response to the spending cuts will be published at our 30th anniversary parliamentary event on 14 July.

We are very much looking forward to the anniversary event, during which we will be launching the brand new updated version of our most popular publication; Making the Link. The new Making the Link reviews the work and celebrates the successes of Link over the past 30 years and will be available to download shortly.

We were delighted to welcome another volunteer, Jacqueline Caine, to the Link team in June. The work our volunteers do for us continues to be invaluable, especially during these busy times.

Link’s reference library, containing nearly 2000 hard-copy publications from a wide range of stakeholders is now live. Both members and non-members can use the service to search and borrow publications. Go to our Resources Centre for further information.
