There has to be a winner, but thanks to The Lincolnite's sponsorship none of the pitches went away empty handed.
Compassionate Minster was started by school students who gathered round them willing teachers and parents and are determined to make a difference. They made a fabulous collection for one of CompassionateLincoln's collections for refugees. Now they have a project to invite lonely older people to afternoon teas. They have done their research: many of us can expect to live alone once we approach our mid seventies, but alone need not be lonely.
Let Them Eat Cake began an one man's response to the plight of homeless people in Lincoln. Each Saturday night of the winter groups of volunteers provide food and warmth. When the snow came, they went our every night. Next winter they now hope to provide good from the Mint Lane Cafe.
A Perfect Day is a music festival planned for 11 August for people with disabilities and their carers. The organisers have received a good deal of support from the team at Lincoln Drill Hall which runs the Butterfly Club. You can find out more and buy tickets from the Lincoln Drill Hall box office.
We received feedback from last time's winner Rhubarb Theatre on their work in care homes and also from Clean Lincoln Everywhere and Now.
Thanks to Lincoln Drill Hall for the venue and Cafe Shanti for the soup
