Lincoln Disability Football Club was established to provide footballers with an inclusive environment, to ensure there were no barriers to participation. The core player group are those that have disabilities and mental health conditions,. The club has created a football community that offers new opportunities for aspiring footballers, with the support of their families, carers and friends. To this day, the club is proud of their strong family values and their sense of community where everyone is welcome to play, volunteer, support, or just make new friends. 

Individuals & teams  raising funds 

Many individuals want to raise funds for different charities and research.  Two colleagues and wonderful friends, did just that in the 'Race for Life'. 

Fun, friendship creating, team building and spirited,  and most importantly for causes dear to their hearts.

Well done ladies!  Love the t-shirts.

An exciting group for young adults (aged 18-30) with additional needs who are passionate about musicals and have a love for performing. The joy, happiness and pride each student experiences from performing together enables them to feel they have achieved something, they can share with the wider community; building friendships and skills they can use throughout their lives.

Social opportunities for the whole family are also available, so parents, carers and siblings can be involved and enjoy the good times together.

Inclusion, creativity, positivity & choice is Stardust’s ethos.

With the help of the charity Every-One, STARDUST became a reality. 

However, the group continues to require funds and support for more young people to be part of the group.

A dedicated team of practitioners support children aged five to eighteen who are affected by a parent or family member’s substance misuse, for whom holidays can seem especially long and daunting.  The team work hard to organise various trips and activities to give them things to look forward to.

Engaging the children in enjoyable activities not only provides them with some much-needed respite but will help them to build self-esteem, mitigate feelings of isolation and – most importantly – have fun!

The Trust team are always  keen to hear from anyone who is willing to donate tickets or passes for any activities and days out, or even a safe space in which the Young Oasis team can occupy groups of the children with crafts or games.

Businesses interested in donating can contact the Lincolnshire Action Trust on

WEX – Boston RSPB Wildlife Explorers

https://ww2.rspb.org.uk/groups/boston/about/

This group supports children, young adults and their carers to learn more about their environment, teaching them new skills, supporting their education and development.

Adults and teenagers volunteer to run the group and ensure that the events, held once a month, are enjoyed by all. 

You can learn more about wildlife, or use your artistic talent to create items – what you create depends on the theme of the month!

If you want to volunteer, you can develop leadership and management skills, supporting others in their development. 

Individuals often often find it difficult, or are not able to participate in work and some need to develop their work-life balance.  This group enables people to devlop and participate at their own pace, where they feel comfortable.
