Celebrating International Day of Charity: The People Behind Lincoln City Foundation ❤️🤍
Today is a wonderful opportunity to recognize the people behind Lincoln City Foundation and celebrate the extraordinary individuals and organizations who make the work of @LCityFoundation possible.
Behind every programme delivered, every opportunity created and every life touched are people who care deeply about making a difference.
I am incredibly grateful to the dedicated employees who bring compassion and commitment to their work each day; the volunteers who generously give their time; the trustees who help guide the Foundation’s mission; our wonderful ambassadors who proudly use their voices to champion its work; and the funders, partners, fundraisers, supporters and Friends of the Foundation whose generosity and belief enable the Foundation to reach even more people throughout Lincolnshire.
Each person plays a different role, but together you are the heart of Lincoln City Foundation. Your time, talents, generosity and care help create healthier, happier and more inspired communities.
As Global Patron, I am so proud to stand alongside you. On International Day of Charity—and every day—thank you for all you do and for the difference you continue to make. ❤️🤍

Working at the Foundation is never a normal job (thank goodness!) celebrating our fundraisers, looking after the mascots, managing pre game activities…. The fun never stops. Shout out to our brilliant pundits from @sirfrancishill and the fantastic team who make it all happen.
Massive plans for the next 5 years. With the help of key partners - we can make great things happen together…
♥️ As part of the #EFLWeekofAction we launched our 2025-30 strategy, where local partners helped us plan how to achieve our ambitious goals to help the people of Lincolnshire!

Last week I joined Lincoln’s MP @HFalconerMP, Baroness Hilary Armstrong and other leaders for a walk around Birchwood West. It’s great to hear about incoming investment for an area where we have a number of programmes already. There’s more to do! @LincolnCity_FC @LCityFoundation
Well done to all school staff who have reached their well-deserved summer holidays! @CHickerton
