In fact, not everything that is happening is listed here.

Homelessness is not a choice.

It's a situation people find themselves in due to reasons beyond their control. It can be the result of domestic abuse, family conflict, financial hardship, or mental health challenges.

Help us support those facing homelessness by donating to LEAP: leap.uk.com/donate

Last chance to see the fabulous "Sounding The Wash" exhibition: to hear the underwater thuds, bubbles and gurgles; to wonder at the call of golden plover made visible in porcelain; and to consider the thoughts of a green sea urchin πŸ‘‡πŸŒŠ

Look who's moved into one of our workshops! A small colony of brown long-eared bats has chosen to roost in the building, apparently unperturbed by the comings and goings of our wardens, and they are making the most of the rich feeding grounds over the surrounding nature reserve.

So #Lincolnshire has a mayor.
While Andrea Jenkyns won with the majority, only 12.5% of the 800,000+ electorate of the county actually voted for her.

Of those who turned out, 58% did not vote Reform.
Please remember, if we live here we're not all reform voters.
