Any person from any community who has the knowledge and skills to help someone in the fields of employment and education, can be a mentor.
Anyone who belongs to a minority ethnic group can become a mentee and use LINKnet's services to seek jobs or to access further/higher education.
On 02 June 2018, the Queen’s Award Committee approved LINKnet’s nomination for the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2018. At a ceremony held on 30 July 2018 at the City Chambers of Edinburgh, the Queen’s representative, Lord Lieutenant Frank Ross awarded the certificate and the crystal to a group of representatives from LINKnet stakeholders. The award had been achieved by only two organisations in Edinburg in 2018.
LINKnet is the first and the only minority ethnic organisation from Edinburgh and the Lothians to win this prestigious award since its inception in 2002 on Queen’s birth day honours.
