In 2023 at Make An Entrance we are supporting one of our favourite local charities. The Acts Trust is a Christian charity in Lincoln that empowers people to end poverty.

Stuart Burlton, MD of Make An Entrance presented Simon Hawking CEO of Act's Trust with our donations.

The Act's Trust programmes across Lincoln include:

  • The Night Light Cafes are a safe space at night for those having a mental health crisis.
  • The Lincoln Foodbank provides food aid to people in need.
  • The Community Grocery where for only £4 people in desperate need can fill a basket with an essential food shop.
  • Restore empowering those 18+ with skills, opportunities and friendship
  • Energize Youth Work services into schools and local communities

We may only be a Matting Manufacturer but this matters, and Lincoln is our home so we want to help in any way that we can.

So we have gifted some logo mats to brighten up the new Community Grocery.

Lincoln Community Grocery - fill a bag with gorgeous fresh food for just £4

We also ran a charity pub quiz evening with our friends at Beerheadz, an amazing pub in Lincoln's Bailgate area serving high-quality and unusual beers. It's one of our favourite haunts and it was great to be able to have fun with members of our local community and raise money for such an important charity at the same time.

We raised £300 and had a great time doing it.

The Alive Cafe is on the same site as the community grocery and serves delicious affordable food.

Thank you, Simon Hawking, for your inspirational leadership at Acts Trust, and to our team members Anna Parkinson and Matthew Shepperson for organising the Quiz.

You all did a really great job.
