Formerly LINC

‘After 25 years as LINC, we have rebranded to LINQ Ireland. The name change does not mark the end of an era, but a confirmation of what was happening all along. LINQ Ireland lets the world know that there’s been a hub in Cork that has always understood that the name “lesbian” as a broad inclusive umbrella term that sheltered all lesbian, bisexual and queer women (both cisgender and trans) and non-binary and intersex people who feel a deep (if at times complicated) resonance with the name “lesbian”.’
LINQ Resource Centre aims to improve the quality of life, health and well-being of all women who identify as lesbian or bisexual in Ireland.
For nearly thirty years, lesbian, bisexual and queer women (trans and non-binary inclusive) in Cork have been providing support services for others in our community and have been active in promoting equality for lesbian, bisexual and queer women (trans and non-binary inclusive).
This culminated in the foundation of LINQ Ireland, an organisation committed to informing and impacting upon social inclusion policy and practice and providing peer support services to all in our community.
LINQ Resource Centre is the only community development organisation in the Republic of Ireland that works for LBQ women (Trans & Non-Binary inclusive).

History

For over twenty years, Lesbian and Bisexual women in Cork have been providing support services for others in our community and have been active in promoting equality for Lesbian and Bisexual women. This culminated in the foundation of LINC (Lesbians in Cork), an organisation committed to informing and impacting upon social inclusion policy and practice and providing peer support services to all in our community.

LINC Resource Centre is the only community development organisation working exclusively with Lesbian and Bisexual women in the Republic of Ireland. Through the LINC Resource Centre, we have completed a comprehensive outreach training and development programme. We have also begun to actively engage with various representative groups in the community including the young women’s group, lesbian parents’ group, the group founded to support the parents of lesbian and bisexual women and the older lesbian group.
