What's On

As residents of Link Road, we have collected our thoughts on what we do to look after our mental health and turned them into a poem. You can walk freely along our road anytime during Healing Arts Birmingham week and read the poem line-by-line in our front windows. To complement it, we have installed flowering hanging baskets made with the help of local gardening collective, Warm Earth. We invite you to share our joy in who we are as a community. Link Road is only 8 minutes walk from the no 11 bus route and fewer from the no 80.
