Learning Things

How we help people to learn new skills and develop their knowledge.

Digital Skills

Community Lincs has long been an advocate of better digital services in rural areas and has provided training and support to individuals and communities.

Training

Community Lincs has expertise and training resources in organisational sustainability, managing community buildings and project development, planning and evaluation

Volunteer Skills

Voluntary groups use volunteers to help deliver services to their clients. In fact many voluntary groups are totally reliant on volunteers as they have no paid staff at all.

Saving Money

Services we provide and promote that will save you money.

Heating Oil

The Community Lincs Community Oil Buying Scheme aims to save members money by bringing people together to make the most of their collective buying power.

Keeping Warm

Community Lincs works strategically with partners and directly with communities on energy saving initiatives that help to tackle fuel poverty in the county.

Making Connections

Lincolnshire is a vast rural county dotted with small villages and hamlets. The public transport system is patchy and the road infrastructure is poor, meaning that many people are isolated and find it difficult or expensive to get to work or college, or simply to have a social life.

Through projects such as the Good Neighbours’ Scheme, Talk Eat and Drink in East Lindsey and the Women in Enterprise Day Community Lincs tries to address issues of isolation and access and helps to bring people together to share experience and friendships.

Good Neighbours Scheme

Good Neighbours Schemes are community projects run and delivered by groups of local volunteers. Whilst potentially benefitting the whole community, they are aimed primarily at helping elderly, disabled, vulnerable, frail or isolated people.

Community Cuppa

Many of Lincolnshire’s communities are very active and have a range of community based services and groups available; but often these are hidden assets with few people knowing they even exist. We will help you find and participate in group activities.

T.E.D.

Talk, Eat and Drink (T.E.D.) in East Lindsey is a six year, Big Lottery Funded project inspired by Lincolnshire’s proud food heritage, which will see older people getting out and about, becoming more involved in social activities and feeling positive about their future.

Volunteering

Community Lincs is keen to support volunteering. We provide volunteering opportunities to give people workplace experience and to help in the delivery of our projects. We also encourage our staff to volunteer on a regular or one off basis and provide paid time for them to do so. To find out about our current volunteering opportunities, read on or visit our jobs page.

T.E.D. Volunteers

The T.E.D. project is looking to recruit volunteers providing support to individuals and undertaking community research. This is an East Lindsey project.

Competitions and Awards

How we help to recognise talent and community service.

Photo Competition

The Community Lincs’ photo competition provides quarterly opportunities for amater photographers to showcase their work. Each competition is built around a different Lincolnshire theme.

John Barker Trophy

For many years Lincolnshire community building committees were able to call upon the technical expertise of John Barker on building related matters.  To celebrate this and recognise the work of those volunteers who give their time and effort to manage and maintain community buildings, Community Lincs hold this annual trophy competition.
