What we do
We help local people, groups and services join the dots
The Lincoln North Rural Partnership Board brings local people, organisations and services together to solve real problems. We map what exists, spot the gaps, and work out answers with communities, not for them.
It covers the villages north of Lincoln, from Welton and Nettleham to Stow and beyond. This site is your starting point.

Why it matters here
Why it matters here
Rural communities here have real strengths: trusted relationships, dedicated volunteers and strong village identities. They also face real obstacles. Transport is patchy, services can be hard to reach, and the support that exists is scattered, so people don't always know what's available or who to ask.
This partnership exists to close those gaps.
How it works
Meet, map, follow through
- Meet
People from community groups, parish councils, health services, faith communities and residents get together each month, moving around the villages.
- Map
Between meetings we keep a picture of what exists locally up to date, and note the gaps people raise.
- Follow through
When the room agrees something is worth working on, a small group takes it forward and reports back next time.
