COMMUNITY LARDER

The New Life Centre is home to the Spilsby and District Community Larder and is supported by the community for the community and is run by volunteers. Local churches, schools, supermarkets, businesses, organisations, community projects and residents generously donate to the Community Larder.

We have supplied on average 10 food parcels per week to needy individuals and families in financial crisis in the Community.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Our programme continues to grow here at the New Life Community Church. Over the last year, we have added to our programme and developed our work further afield. Not only do we provide grass root level support in Spilsby but across the county of Lincolnshire. New Life was commissioned by the ICB to be a Wellbeing Hub on behalf of the NHS in the last financial year. We also provide provision in Skegness too from rented space at The Storehouse Church. We have several satellite locations around the East Lindsey area, with a key focus on the East Coast and surrounding villages. As well as our daytime provision, we also host a number of Night Light Cafes, again, on behalf of the NHS. All our sessions are equipped to ensure people can access grass root level mental health & wellbeing support locally and in between services provided by primary care.

Our men’s mental health work is continuing to grow, with new locations launching throughout the year. We currently stand at 13 locations county wide. Bro Pro UK, is selffunded and is not commissioned by the NHS, however aligns to the transformation programme.

We continue to provide a youth club provision for Spilsby out of the New Life Community Church, as well as access to our soft play area for families to use, free of charge.

The food bank is still in operation and can be accessed daily through self or professional referral.

All our staff & team go through comprehensive training, much of which is provided by the likes of Shine Lincolnshire, LDASS and Lincolnshire County Council.

We sit on several steering groups including the connected coast board, LDASS, Sleep Clinic, LPFT Better Together Focus Group.

Our partnership working has extensively grown, this is partly down to the work of our Community Connectors who are an integral part of the NHS IPBT in Lincolnshire.
