Wellbeing Lincs 

Wellbeing Lincs

Wellbeing Lincs is a countywide service that promotes the confidence to live independently through life's changes. The service is available to anyone aged 18+ who needs support.

The service is funded by Lincolnshire County Council and delivered by all of Lincolnshire's district councils working in partnership.  Wellbeing Lincs will:

  • Assess people's support needs in order to help them to live confident and independent lives
  • Provide short-term support (for up to 12 weeks) to ensure they feel safe in their own home, engage them in community services and reduce or prevent the escalation of an individual's needs
  • Signposting to other services, such as money advice, local groups, clubs and charities
  • Help people to resettle at home following discharge from hospital care
  • Supply small aids, equipment and home adaptations (charges may apply)
