As we approach Christmas, I want to extend my thanks to everyone who plays a part in the work we do at LEAP—our staff, partners, stakeholders, and supporters. This time of year reminds us of the importance of compassion, community, and the festive spirit of giving. For many of the people we support, the holidays can be a difficult period. Yet acts of kindness bring stability and hope to those who need it most. Our work ensures that no one is left behind and that every individual has the chance to feel safe, valued, and supported. Next year, we look forward to new developments and the opportunity to expand our services so that we can help even more vulnerable individuals and families. Your continued support is invaluable to us. Thank you for standing with us. I wish you all a peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

On September 3rd 2025, LEAP Community Hub proudly marked its 10th anniversary with a celebration in Gainsborough.
Check out photos from the event:
Patricia Robinson, one of our Housing and Support Officers, recently planted potatoes in the garden of a Lincoln property.
Residents took turns caring for the crop, and last week, they harvested the results of their shared effort.
Take a look at the results!
Shannon Parker, our Housing and Support Manager, had this to say about LEAP Community Hub’s 10th Anniversary milestone:
On 3rd August, Helen and Kevin Crowther, long time LEAP supporters, threw a garden party and raised a whopping £465 for LEAP!
50 people attended and it was a massive success.
The Crowther's continued support of LEAP is very much appreciated.
Next month, we’ll be celebrating LEAP Community Hub’s 10th Anniversary and in the run-up to the celebration, we’ll be sharing some of our favourite memories from the last decade in Gainsborough.
