February at Your Local Lincs
It’s official. We are no longer a teenager! Yes, February 2025 marks twenty whole years since we started popping magazines through your letterbox. Now we have been producing them for two decades, we’re in the mood for celebrating, so make sure to pick up this month’s edition to see what’s going on!
Each month we aim to bring you great competitions, and this month we have TWO fab prizes up for grabs. Firstly we’ve put together an extra special birthday hamper brimming with awesome prizes that reflect the different sections of our magazine. We had some help to do this from some of our advertisers, including Dansum who have supplied a scarf of their footie team, Zoe at Wellness Lincs who supplied a recipe book, and Lincolnshire Wildlife Park with a family pass. But that’s just the start of what’s in this hamper! For our second competition, we’ve teamed up with Sleaford’s competition king, Little Italy Pizza in celebration of National Pizza Day.
Did you know you can hop over to our Competitions page on our website to enter all our competitions? It’s much less bother than sending in postcard. Make sure you get your entries in before the cut off dates!
Reaching the milestone of our 20th birthday naturally puts us in a reflective mood as we look back on the journey we have taken to bring us HERE. In February’s magazine you’ll find a timeline of events after we asked magazine owner Karen to plot the YLL journey. From its humble beginnings back in 2005, YLL continues to be run by people of YOUR community. We’re just as passionate about our community as you are, being products of the area ourselves! We are all one with you as we link you to local groups, events, tradespeople and businesses and more. And that’s what we intend to do for many more years to come!
One of the sections of the YLL family that is often overlooked is our team of distributors who bring you your magazine come rain or shine or snow. This month we drop in on them as they’re at work. We felt it was time for a bit of perspective from the team out on the ground, so you can meet the people who bring you your pocket of sunshine each month.
In February’s YLL, a number of our advertisers give their testimonials on how advertising in our magazine works for them. You don’t have to just take our word for it, how our magazine has helped to power so many local businesses over the years. Have a read of what they have to say and if you’re interested in advertising yourself, whether that be for a community event or a local business, we’re always looking forward to hearing from you!
Have a great month, and we'll see you next time.

Charity in the Community
As your essential community magazine, our community is naturally at our heart, and what is at the heart of every community? Charity.
We've been reflecting on the various campaigns we've supported during our 20 years of producing magazines. There is much need in the world, so it should be no surprise that we have quite a list of charities that have featured on our pages over the years.
But what charity-related endeavours will we find on our pages in our 21st year? Is there something out there going on in our community that you would like us to know about? Whether you're a veteran organisation or an individual starting something new, we'd love to hear from you. Would you like us to give your charity some exposure? We're on the lookout for new philanthropic endeavours in our community and would love to hear about the worthy things going on around us.
