Charity Collection Box - New Location

We are grateful to Charlotte, the new manager of The Priory in Grantham, who has kindly agreed to have one of our Charity Boxes on her bar. Thank you 🫡

We are both thrilled and incredibly grateful to announce that we have been awarded funding from The Veterans’ Foundation.

This funding will help us to continue our vital work over the next three years, providing essential support and resources to members of the Armed Forces Community within Lincolnshire, including veterans, serving personnel, and their families. THANK YOU to The Veterans’ Foundation for believing in our mission and for their generosity.

Co-op Community Champions
Funds Received

We are so very grateful to the Co-operative Group

and their Community Champions fund raising programme for the opportunity to be a part of their fantastic community initiative. Also a massive thank you to all Co-op dividend card holders, colleagues and customers who have contributed.

Thank You to Andrew Pearson for your amazing Support!

A huge post of appreciation goes out to Andrew Pearson, Skills Coach at BAE Systems, Humberside Airport. Throughout each of the 31 days of May, he completed the “Murph” challenge –

A 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 press-ups, 300 squats and another 1 mile run… All whilst wearing a 9kg weighted vest!

In doing this, he raised a whopping £915, which was then topped up with an additional £250 funding by BAE Systems.

This totalled an amazing £1165 raised and donated.

Simon presented a certificate of appreciation to Andrew (he also enjoyed looking around the aircraft!)

Your commitment to this challenge was outstanding and all because you saw our VSS mug on BBC Look North!

Thank you Andrew
