Meet Peter – a budding storyteller with a heart full of imagination and talent to match! 💫

Peter recently took on a challenge to write a short story about Cunninghams Café, and he didn’t just write it — he brought it to life! With beautifully drawn illustrations and a story full of charm, Peter addressed it personally to me, making it all the more special.

Today, Peter joined Carol from Cunninghams and myself to proudly accept his well-deserved prize! 🎉📚🥇 (Check out the photo of the three of us!)

Stories have the power to connect us, to bring joy, and to inspire — and Peter’s story did just that. We’re so proud of you, Peter. Keep writing and dreaming big!

You can join us every Monday evening (excluding bank holidays) 6 till 8pm for coffee, cake and heartfelt company.

I’m truly honoured to receive the Impact on Wellness & Mental Health Award from Spilsby Town Council. This recognition means a great deal, not just to me, but to everyone who works tirelessly to support mental health in our community and across the county, on behalf of New Life Community Church/Wellbeing Hub. Thank you for acknowledging the importance of this work — together, we can continue to make a real difference in people’s lives.

As I've said for the last 15 years, Spilsby is most definitely Stronger Together!

This week, we were proud to host a number of "Self-Esteem" Workshop delivered by LDASS in partnership with the Wellbeing Hub & Bro Pro UK. The session offered powerful insights and practical tools that we can take away and use in both our personal lives and professional roles.

Together, we explored how self-esteem shapes our interactions, influences our decisions, and underpins our wellbeing — especially when working in support-focused roles.

📸 Pictured: Team members from Bro Pro UK, Commmunity Connnrctors, Eve Project & the Wellbeing Hub — all taking part, learning, and growing together.

A big thank you to LDASS for an empowering and reflective session. Here's to continuing to invest in ourselves so we can better serve our communities. 💙

Today marks my final visit of the year for some of the Year 13s at Boston Grammar School Sixth Form, where I've had the privilege of delivering wellbeing sessions throughout the academic year.

It's been inspiring to walk alongside these young people as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives. Their openness, resilience, and curiosity have made each session a meaningful experience.

To all the students moving on to university or new adventures—wishing you every success, peace, and continued growth. Keep investing in your wellbeing as much as your studies. You’ve got this!

A huge shoutout to Alex Oliver, who bravely took on the challenge and braved the shave to raise vital funds for our Early Bird project!

We want to give special thanks to Maureen for getting the shave started, and to Caroline from Cunninghams Coffee Lounge for stepping in to finish it off in style!

Thanks to your amazing efforts and generosity, we’ll be able to run our Early Bird breakfasts every Wednesday throughout the summer holidays—making sure families start their day with a warm meal and a warm welcome.

We are so grateful for the support of our community. You're making a real difference!

This morning I had the pleasure of delivering a "Wellbeing" workshop at St. Hugh’s School in Woodhall Spa, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. It was inspiring to see such thoughtful engagement from the students as we explored the importance of looking after our mental health and developing practical tools for wellbeing.

Promoting early conversations about mental health is vital, and it’s encouraging to see schools like St. Hugh’s making space for these important discussions. A big thank you to the staff and students for the warm welcome and meaningful participation.
