About Us
LINK was set up in 1996 as a result of demand from service users and workers who felt there was a gap in Adult Mental Health service provision that could be met by a befriending service. In 2003, the Adolescent Befriending Project was established.
We work with Adults (18-65) in East Fife and Levenmouth; and Young People (12-18) in East Fife, Levenmouth, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy, Burntisland and Lochgelly.

Before that she studied Psychology at the University of Dundee. Senga has two grown up girls, a dog called Oscar and a cat called Reuben. When she has free time Senga likes to walk, swim, travel and can often be found pottering in her garden in the better weather.
