If you’re a neighbourhood group in North East Lincolnshire, then you need to be aware of support programmes that can support either your group or your members (residents/neighbours). You can share information about these initiatives with your group or signpost people to them that you might feel will benefit.
There may well be other local support initiatives that we’ve not listed here – these are the ones we’re in partnership with or more closely connected with. If we’ve missed one that you think should be shared here, please contact us or share on the online forum.
