Community Enterprise Programme

What is Community Enterprise Programme?

This programme is a new and exciting initiative, delivered by Lincolnshire Community Voluntary Service in partnership with the National Centre for Rural Health & Care, and Community Catalyst.

The 18-month programme offers support to local people in Mablethorpe, Theddlethorpe, Sutton-on-Sea and Trusthorpe, to set up and run their own small community enterprises who will offer a range of help and support within the home for older people and / or disabled people who want to live life their way.

The project has a focus on the Mablethorpe, Theddlethorpe, Sutton on Sea and Trusthorpe area only.

​

How can the programme make a difference?
