Please vote for our charity to be part of Lincolnshire Co-op Community Champions! This means that if you are a Lincolnshire Co-op member, every time you shop and use your dividend card a donation will be given to your local Community Champion! You are only able to vote if you are a member and have a dividend card. We will be up for a vote in the Willoughby Road community. If this does not appear when you visit the page, please use the map that will appear on the page where you are able to search for Citizens Advice North Lincolnshire.
Being a Lincolnshire Co-op Community Champion would ensure we are able to help more people who seek help from us. It would also enable us to increase awareness of our charitable status. This is because so many people don’t realise that we are a local independent charity and we rely on the support and donations of others to be able to provide our services! The cost of living crisis is impacting so many of us right now, and this especially the case for many of our clients. Thus, we are seeing an increased demand in people needing our support to get by. Your help means we are able to provide for this increase.
On Wednesday 3rd August we attended the Ongo Carnival where we had a stall and a tombola to raise funds and awareness of our charity! We had such a great day in the community. It was amazing to see so many people interacting with other organisations in North Lincolnshire and most importantly, having fun!
We are very proud to have received an award from the North Lincolnshire Healthy Workplace Scheme! We attended the ceremony on the 25th May where our Operations Manager, Debra Taylor, gratefully accepted the award. We received this due to the efforts and commitment of our organisation to provide a healthy work environment and improve overall health and wellbeing of our staff.
From April 1st the energy price cap is increasing. This means that from April around 5 million people won’t be able to afford their energy bills. This is set to rise to 14 million by October meaning that 1 in 4 people will struggle.

On Saturday 19th March we had two people put themselves up for the challenge of skydiving and raising funds for us! The very brave girls came together to jump 15,000ft out of the aircraft, free falling for around a minute, at a speed of 120mph! And they loved it!
