About us

Active Lincolnshire is committed to providing opportunities for everyone in Lincolnshire to be active every day. We work with partners to address inequalities and inactivity, responding to the needs of people and places.

What we do

As advocates for the positive power that physical activity has on everyone’s lives, we work in partnership to improve understanding, influence change, and tackle the challenge of inactivity.

    Benefits of Becoming a Volunteer

    Looking to volunteer? The sport and activity sector has a whole host of voluntary opportunities – from being a coach or activity leader to taking care of the admin behind the scenes.

    Volunteering is an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only does it allow you to give back to your local community, but it also gives you a chance to develop new skills – which can be great for your CV. Whether you’re volunteering on a regular basis or at a one-off event, you’ll play an essential part in ensuring the activity runs smoothly. Without volunteers, grassroots sports and activities wouldn’t be able to happen.

    Volunteering is a great way to:

    • Meet people
    • Gain work experience
    • Make a difference
    • Do something you're passionate about
    • Fill some spare time
    • Help people
    • Get involved in your local community
    • Try something new
    • Enjoy yourself
