Innovative community-led health and wellbeing projects have received funding support from West Lindsey District Council thanks to Community Grant Scheme.

The projects include supporting animal assisted learning, a new tent for scouts, a befriending service and drama ‘drop-in sessions’ raising awareness of mental health and support available.

The council which is committed to improving and contributing to the positive health and wellbeing of all residents, supported the projects through its Community Grant Scheme.

Coun Lesley Rollings, chair of the Prosperous Communities Committee, said: “There are so many great innovative community-led projects being delivered that reach residents across the district, including those facing particular disadvantage or marginalisation.
