About Us

Shine Lincolnshire is a health and wellbeing charity dedicated to strengthening communities and ensuring that everyone has access to the support they need. 

We believe that local connections are key to improving mental health and wellbeing, and we work across the county to bring people together. By linking individuals, grassroots organisations, and statutory services, we create a more supportive and accessible network of care, making sure that no one is left without help due to geographical or digital barriers.

In addition to building these connections, we provide direct wellbeing support through our community hub in Horncastle, offering a safe and welcoming space where people can access support groups and connect with others. We also distribute funding to grassroots organisations delivering mental health initiatives, ensuring that vital local services continue to make a difference. Our team of trained peer support workers, all with lived experience, offer one-on-one guidance to help individuals navigate their mental health journeys in a compassionate and person-centred way.

To further empower communities, we provide accredited training in mental health first aid, suicide prevention, and physical first aid, equipping people with the skills to support others in times of crisis. At Shine, we are committed to creating a county where no one feels alone, and where strong community connections enable people to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
