History, Her Story, My Story, Our Story

We worked with four communities across the county to explore the heritage of their area through bespoke intergenerational projects. Our Community Development team worked with groups in Woodall Spa, Lincoln, Sutton-On-Sea and Gainsborough to explore events and moments from their history with both younger and older residents resulting in a shared understanding and love of their place.
