Community Link Service, Horsham District Council

Community Link is a support service from Horsham District Council that enables residents to live independently, by providing affordable access to a range of assistive technology (Technology Enabled Care) to residents in Horsham District and parts of Mid Sussex (Haywards Heath, Hassocks, Burgess Hill and surrounding villages).

The team can provide a variety of TEC to meet specific needs of its service users, including peace of mind for family and friends that help can be arranged at the press of a button.

Using a person-centred approach, our advisors will discuss what technology and / or partner agency referrals would be best suited to support safety and independence.
