It’s certainly been a week bursting with activity here in Lincolnshire – a week demonstrating unity, resolve, and community spirit. The Lincoln City FC Foundation introduced an excellent new initiative to our area: walking football sessions aimed specifically for those in our local communities suffering from Parkinson’s disease. This touching project isn’t just about sport; it’s designed to foster a sense of community and provide vital support.
Similarly, a thrilling summer of events is anticipated with Access Creative College Lincoln joining forces with Zest Theatre, promising to invigorate our community with a flood of creativity and excitement.
Expressions of gratitude and acknowledgment were also a pivotal point this week. A caring individual from Lincolnshire was bestowed with a Medal of Merit for their unyielding dedication and compassionate care within the healthcare community. In Grimsby, Reverend Stephen Redman was the recipient of an MBE award for his remarkable support given to families of children battling cancer, epitomising the true essence of community spirit.
In other developments, our environmentally-conscious citizens have devoted their time to the Humber Forest Project, achieving the remarkable feat of planting an impressive 368,000 trees during the 2024-25 season. This reflects Lincolnshire’s commitment to preserving the environment, which is further endorsed by Tattershall Recycling Centre’s new initiative to support paint donation, strengthening this ideology.
As we anticipate the approaching festive season, fun runs in Lincoln and Louth have kickstarted their annual Santa appeals, signifying the advent of Lincolnshire’s widely recognised season of charity.
Considering the events of the past week, it’s clear that Lincolnshire embodies a caring, flourishing, and celebratory community. Here’s a toast to more weeks of this nature!
