LinC aims to provide knowledge and support for in-house lawyers working in registered charities and create opportunities for such in-house lawyers to share knowledge and network. The ways in which LinC achieves its aims include making available precedents and other know-how, an email forum for its members and holding quarterly meetings.
Membership of LinC is open to lawyers working in registered charities. There is no limit on the number of individual lawyers from each charity who may join as members.

The project is to develop and improve the LinC website as a digital resource for the existing group of charities so that subject experts can share practical guidance and information on key areas of law that are relevant to charities. A Professional Support Lawyer will:
- managing the creation of a well-organised and well-structured website;
- update and transfer relevant documents from an existing repository to the new website;
- create new guidance and templates with the help of members;
- organise, group and create metadata for all items to facilitate searchability;
- conduct a feasibility study on sustainable financing options.
The Project will create a unique legal resource providing relevant and risk-based guidance on key areas of the law, as well as template policies and documents relating to governance and charity management, to non-specialist or generalist lawyers working in a wide range of charities.
A feasibility study into potential sources of future funding for the website e.g. the charging of a membership fee based on the improvement and enhanced value of the website to members will be undertaken.
