To support adults suffering as a result of long-term addiction to alcohol and/or other drugs, to reduce self harm, promote sobriety and maintain independence.

To continue to develop a holistic approach to promoting good relations in all of The Link's activities, and to build the organisation's capacity to deliver an effective community relations programme.
