On September 3rd, 2025 we celebrated LEAP Community Hub’s 10th anniversary. In honour of that celebration, we created a video to reflect on the past decade. Check it out through the link below. youtu.be/1cNQxH2GErE

On September 3rd 2025, LEAP Community Hub proudly marked its 10th anniversary with a celebration in Gainsborough. Check out photos from the event:

Patricia Robinson, one of our Housing and Support Officers, recently planted potatoes in the garden of a Lincoln property. Residents took turns caring for the crop, and last week, they harvested the results of their shared effort. Take a look at the results!

Shannon Parker, our Housing and Support Manager, had this to say about LEAP Community Hub’s 10th Anniversary milestone:

On 3rd August, Helen and Kevin Crowther, long time LEAP supporters, threw a garden party and raised a whopping £465 for LEAP! 50 people attended and it was a massive success. The Crowther's continued support of LEAP is very much appreciated.

Next month, we’ll be celebrating LEAP Community Hub’s 10th Anniversary and in the run-up to the celebration, we’ll be sharing some of our favourite memories from the last decade in Gainsborough.
