Founded by a group of visionary women in Royston in 1992, Lifelink has focussed over the last 26 years on empowering young people and adults to manage their mental health more effectively. 

And just a few months short of her 5-year anniversary with the company, CEO Jacqui Taylor was proud to collect the Association of Scottish Businesswomen Business of the Year 2018 award in testament to the vibrant and creative social enterprise that Lifelink has become.

“Our vision is that people are healthier and happier wherever they live, work or learn and we achieve this through ensuring that people are at the heart of everything we do. Whether that be our clients or our own staff – we empower people to do more.” explained Jacqui.

Today, Lifelink is looking to help other businesses and their staff to do more, through their range of stress management and wellbeing support services, including one-to-one employee counselling, staff training courses and group workshops. 

“We know that stress is one of the most common reasons for long-term sickness in the UK, costing employers billions each year, and it can be a struggle knowing the best way to support someone suffering from stress or anxiety. Our wellbeing and stress management services are based around the same principles we use to support our own staff, so we have confidence in the quality and effectiveness of the support that we can provide to business clients.”
