Acts Charity Ball 2025 – A night to remember!
On Thursday 25th April, supporters, sponsors, and friends of Acts Trust gathered at the Hilton for an unforgettable evening at our annual Acts Charity Ball – and what a night it was!
Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended, donated, bid, and got involved, we raised over £8,000 to support our work in tackling poverty and empowering people to end poverty across Lincoln. Every pound raised goes directly towards supporting our vital projects like Lincoln Foodbank, Night Light Cafes, Restore and our Youth Programme.

Lincoln Night Light Coordinator.
The Night Light cafes in Lincoln are open 365 evenings a year that couldn’t happen without our
amazing volunteers. Over the Christmas season the Night Light Cafes remained open, being a warm welcoming space for anyone who may have been in need of some company. I was reflecting on this and
how amazing it is that across the city of Lincoln we were able to offer people who may be finding life difficult a cup of tea and a listening ear.
2025 – The Year of Change
Written by Ian Boyle
In recent years, foodbanks across the country, and most definitely ours here in Lincoln, have experienced growing demand as families and individuals face economic challenges.

The Lincoln Santa Fun Run 2024
Two questions come to mind as I reflect on the fun run last Sunday. Did you see the mass of Father Christmas’s there is Castle Square on Sunday? Wonderful! That wasn’t one of the questions! They were “How old are you?” and – I have now forgotten the other one – too old! Oh yes – it was “Do you believe in Santa?” Whatever you call him!
Our Community Grocery Festive Activities
Moving towards Christmas can be a busy time here at Lincoln Community Grocery, as we seek to ensure we continue to meet the needs of our members. It is also a time of year where we often reflect on the year gone by and look forward with hope to what the New Year may bring.
