A successful council-organised Funding Fair has helped to advise groups across the district on how to access project funding.
South Kesteven District Council worked with Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service to organise a sell-out ticketed event at Bourne Corn Exchange for community groups, charities and parish councils.
More than 110 people booked in to morning and afternoon sessions, keen to meet local and national funders.
Exhibitors included The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Co-op Lincolnshire, BBC Children in Need and the Key Fund - offering flexible loans and grants to help enterprises start up, become sustainable and grow, create jobs and reinvigorate communities.
Also attending were the council teams running the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and its SK Community Fund.
