Supporting NHS staff

Our charity helps to go that extra mile and say ‘thank you’ to all of the NHS heroes across Lincolnshire.  

Every member of staff at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust works tirelessly to provide the best possible care to patients across Lincolnshire. Our charity helps to show them they’re appreciated by providing little extras to make them feel special.  

Here are just a few examples of how your generous donations help us to support the health and wellbeing of thousands of members of NHS staff across the county. 

Sports groups

Staff wishing to set up a new after-work sports group can apply to our charity for funding. We recently supported a netball group in Skegness and five-a-side football group in Lincoln to meet once a week by funding their venue fees for up to six months.  

Team building

Building good working relationships within any team is essential for improving trust, engagement, morale, and most importantly delivering excellent patient care. Whilst some team building activities are funded by the NHS, our charity helps to fund the extra and nice social parts of team building days which wouldn’t ordinarily be funded. For example, we recently provided funding for staff to participate in archery and arcade games as part of their team building.  

Wellbeing spaces

With grant funding received from NHS Charities Together, we were recently able to provide furniture and decorations for some brand-new staff wellbeing spaces at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust headquarters. Whilst the building was being completely renovated using NHS budgets, this did not include allowance for creating wellbeing areas for staff to take time to relax during rest breaks. Our funding ensured these spaces were created and beautifully decorated.
