Short Breaks Sessions Moving Forward
The Short Breaks project, run by Lincoln City FC Sport & Education Trust staff, has received a fantastic reception after relocating its Lincoln session to The Showroom, on Tritton Road. These new facilities are part of the Myplace project which aims to deliver world class youth facilities across the nation through government funding. After receiving £5m to turn The Showroom into a social hub for young people, its popularity has proven a great success.
Young people with special needs sometimes find it difficult to access sports and social clubs outside of school. Short Breaks aims to provide them with activities in an environment better suited to their needs. Sports provision is on offer to people with disabilities aged 5-18 every week during term-time. The club delivers a range of games including Boccia, New Age Kurling, Bowling and Tri-Golf, among others. All games are non-competitive, and people of all abilities are welcome. Socializing is emphasised in the games offered.
We have three sessions running at the moment. Two multi-sport clubs, one based in Lincoln, one roaming session, and a football session on the Sincil Bank 3G Pitch. The Lincoln session at The Showroom makes great use of the new facilities. We have unlimited use of two “Highway 66” mini bowling alleys, access to table tennis, seating areas for resting & spectating, and the Sports Cage. In the Sports Cage we can deliver a variety of games without disturbing people wanting to do something else. It is a self-contained area with markings on the floor and walls that can be used for rules in games or to divide games into smaller areas. Also on offer is our roaming session which is being held at the Meres Leisure Centre in Grantham, until the Christmas break. With full access to the table tennis centre, we are able to provide full-size New Age Kurling, Boccia and team-based games. In the New Year our roaming session will be moving to Gainsborough at Warren Wood Community School, bringing Short Breaks to another area that has shown prior interest.
Other areas Short Breaks is looking to move to include: Market Rasen, Spilsby, Horncastle and Louth. If these, or any other areas interest you, please contact us and we will arrange to visit a venue in your area.

Inside Right Launch
Saturday 
April 9th saw the official launch of the ground-breaking health project 'Inside-Right', at the Lincoln City vs. Gillingham game. The project aims to encourage ex-service men and women, aged 20-50, to meet up in a fun and friendly environment and become part of a weekly football session.
It will be a great way to keep fit and healthy while socialising with other ex-service personnel. As well as playing matches there will also be the chance to get involved with football coaching through volunteering, and the opportunity to gain qualifications. In addition to this there are opportunities to get involved behind the scenes at the Club.
