Communities in East Lindsey are offered cash grants of up to £2,000

Grants of up to £2,000 are available to support East Lindsey area groups and community hubs struggling to support residents to tackle social isolation.

The Cost of Living crisis saw a number of community groups open as Warm Spaces in winter 2022 and many of those spaces saw 100s of residents through their doors over the winter period.

One overriding theme from those who attended was how residents had benefited from the support they got from attending the warm space.  Many groups have stayed open during the warmer months for residents to continue to access the support on offer, whether that be a cuppa with new friends or learning a new skill like knitting.

Councillor Sarah Devereux, Portfolio Holder for Partnership at East Lindsey District Council, said: “We are really pleased to be in a position to offer this grant to community groups in East Lindsey, the support they are giving to local residents is invaluable and we are pleased to be able to recognise the value in this for our residents.”

Groups can apply for a grant from £100 to £2,000.  Forms for this grant can be accessed via our website at Social Isolation Grant – East Lindsey District Council – East Lindsey District Council (e-lindsey.gov.uk) or by emailing Nichola Holderness, Community Leadership Manager, South & East Lincolnshire Council Partnership at nichola.holderness@boston.gov.uk
