Over 400 people gathered in Mablethorpe on Thursday 12 June to celebrate the official launch of the Campus for Future Living – a new development designed to boost health, wellbeing, skills, and innovation across the region.
Located on Stanley Avenue, the Campus is owned by East Lindsey District Council, is operated by Acis Group, and represents a multi-million-pound investment in the area’s future.
The building, made possible following £8.6m Town’s Fund Government funding secured in August 2022, spans over 1,400 square metres and houses state-of-the-art facilities, training spaces, consultation rooms, and a community café.
The launch event drew hundreds of local residents, families, and stakeholders from across the region. Visitors were treated to a day packed with free activities, including health checks, healthcare demos, food tastings, interactive stalls, and taster sessions showcasing the courses and support services available at the site.
A key moment of the day was the ceremonial ribbon cutting, led by Victoria Atkins, MP for Louth and Horncastle, and local resident Luke.
Councillor William Gray, portfolio holder of communities and better ageing at East Lindsey District Council, said: “The Campus for Future Living is a game-changer for Mablethorpe. To see so many people turn out, curious and excited about what’s ahead, is exactly why this space was funded by the Government following a successful bid from East Lindsey District Council and Connected Coast.
“It’s more than a building – it’s a hub of opportunity, learning and support that will make a lasting difference to people’s lives. I’m really excited for the possibilities the Campus will bring to Mablethorpe, the partnerships it will create and the opportunities it will open for local people.”
Claire Woodward, director of community development at Acis Group, added: “We’re absolutely thrilled to see the Campus launch so positively and to welcome hundreds of people through the doors. This is a place designed with the community at its heart – and whether it’s for a course, a coffee, or a conversation, everyone is welcome. The level of engagement we saw on launch day proves how vital this space will be for the local area.”
