Lincoln Voluntary Sector Forum - January 2027

The Lincoln Voluntary Sector Forum is back on Tuesday 19 January at Ruston Sports & Social Club on Newark Road, starting at 10:30. It's one of the regular forums run by CVS Lincolnshire, which is part of the Lincolnshire Community & Voluntary Partnership. They hold these across the seven districts of the county — Boston, East Lindsey, Lincoln, North Kesteven, South Holland, South Kesteven and West Lindsey — so this is the Lincoln stop of the lot.

It's set up as a welcoming, collaborative space for voluntary groups, charities, community and social enterprise organisations, parish and town councils and public sector partners. The whole point is to get people from across the sector in one room to share local experiences, build connections, discuss local priorities and stay informed. Each session brings in guest speakers from the local community and the public sector, and there's space for attendees to showcase their own organisation's work, so it's as much about what you bring to the table as what you hear.

If you're running a small local group or working in a larger charity, it's a good way to see who else is doing what around the city and to pick up on things that might affect your work. It's a morning session, so it fits around the rest of the day rather than taking up an entire one. Entry is managed through Eventbrite, and it's free, with light refreshments included. The forum runs from 10:30 at Ruston Sports & Social Club, Newark Road, Lincoln, LN6 8RN.
