Since February 2023, the South & East Lincolnshire Crowd programme has helped raise an impressive £79,764, supporting eight grassroots projects across South and East Lincolnshire. This crowdfunding initiative, powered by Spacehive, enables community and voluntary organisations to secure funding and bring their ideas to life, benefitting local residents and areas.

 

The programme provides a new way for communities to fund and deliver impactful projects. From gardening clubs and cultural events to outdoor dog exercise areas and landmark restoration, the Crowd offers a platform to make a tangible difference. Local and national funders, including the National Lottery Heritage Fund, often provide match funding, amplifying the contributions from the public.

 

As the programme nears its two-year anniversary, the councils involved are celebrating the success of projects and encouraging more groups to get involved in shaping their neighbourhoods.

 

Here are just a few of the projects that have been successfully delivered:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boston Borough Councillor Emma Cresswell, East Lindsey District Councillor Sarah Devereux, and South Holland District Councillor Gary Taylor, said: “We are committed as a Partnership to continue supporting local community groups and projects. The South & East Lincolnshire Crowd puts local people in the driving seat with fantastic opportunities for funding and support.

 

“This programme shows that communities are at the heart of what we do. The range of projects, their quality, and the enthusiasm to improve our area is truly inspiring.”

 

A spokesperson from the Museum of Spalding Gentlemen’s Society, one of the funded projects, added: “We are thrilled to have exceeded our target. This experience has raised awareness of our building’s history and future plans, and the community's support has been incredible.”

 

Four exciting projects are currently live and looking for funding:
