What is LINK?
LINK is a national organisation with local groups. It is open to anyone between 18 and 30. Each group is different as programs are planned by the members themselves. Great Western Link is the local LINK unit for the Bristol and Bath area and has a varied and active program of events. LINK is part of the Guide Association.
Do you want to …
- Try new or adventurous activities
- Meet new friends and join in social events

Great Western Link has regular meetings on the first Sunday of the month in a Bristol
pub to chat and plan activities, anyone is welcome to come along and find out what's going on
or just join us for a social drink.
Alternatively we can send you a list of future events to see
if you are interested in joining us on any of them.
