Our News & Updates
Coming soon
Something exciting is on the way!
We’re preparing a brand-new project that will inspire, connect, and support our community. Stay tuned for the full announcement – details coming very soon!
CulturaLinks is evolving!
Our refreshed brand reflects who we’ve become — a confident, inclusive, and forward-thinking community organisation with a growing digital presence.
The new design brings clarity and warmth, using a simplified colour palette of deep navy, bright yellow, and soft neutrals to symbolise trust, energy, and connection.
While our look has changed, our mission remains the same: to empower people through learning, wellbeing, and community.
This rebrand marks the next step in building a more connected, visible, and sustainable CulturaLinks — ready for new partnerships and national impact.
CulturaLinks Community CIC is proud to announce a new partnership with HRthrive, an HR and technology brand specialising in workplace innovation.
Together, we’re building a social-tech ecosystem that connects community impact with digital solutions — empowering individuals to learn, work, and thrive.
Through this partnership, CulturaLinks will continue leading community learning and wellbeing programmes, while HRthrive will develop innovative tools like Workplace-ESOL and Neuro-Inclusive English to support inclusive workplaces.
This collaboration marks a new chapter where social purpose meets technology, turning inclusion into measurable, sustainable impact across communities and businesses.
Free BRCA Genetic Testing
We want to share something important for our community. The NHS, together with JewishBRCA.org, is offering completely free genetic testing for BRCA gene mutations – which are linked to higher risks of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer.
The service is simple, with prepaid return shipping and no hidden costs. It’s a powerful way to look after your health and your family’s future.
If you or someone you know has Jewish heritage, this opportunity could make a life-changing difference. 💙 Please help spread the word.
