July at Your Local Lincs
It’s that time of year when it really seems to hit us. We seem to say the same thing every time: how is it July already?? Into the second half of 2024 we go. Because of the extra day with this year being a leap year, the exact halfway point arrives a little later than last year, at midnight on July 1st at the end of the 183rd day to be precise. And now we’ve passed the summer solstice, the days have already started to shorten as the evenings draw in. Not that we’ll notice it this month, as we’ll be too busy keeping up with the continuation of Euro 2024, not to mention Wimbledon, and not to mention the Olympics which start on the 26th. Actually we do mention the Olympics, as you’ll see when you pick up the July YLL!
One of our favourite events from the calendar occurs this month, the Heckington Show. As ever, we’ve got tickets up for grabs in one of our competitions. The other competition this month is rather special, as it gives you the chance to see the amazing Ocean Colour Scene play at the Engine Shed in Lincoln. Yes, that’s THE Ocean Colour Scene! Just like June, this summer month really knows how to deliver as well.
If you’re currently giving yourself a team-talk and considering your tactics as you head into the second half, have you considered adding Your Local Lincs to your game plan? Whether you have a business, charity, group or event to promote, advertising on our pages can be a real game-changer, getting it under the noses of all the homes and businesses to which we deliver; that’s over 27,000 of them, and counting!
If you’ve been wondering whether advertising in our magazine is something you’d like to explore, then don’t hesitate to get in touch via your preferred communication channel. Email, telephone, Facebook, in person. it could be the most important step you take this year, and who knows where it will take you by the end of the second half…
Have a great month and we’ll see you next time.

Winter Clothing Donations
The work of Lincolnshire Action Trust is focused on the care, resettlement and rehabilitation of prisoners and those at risk of offending, as well as the welfare of their families and dependents. A significant number are released homeless and many do not have adequate clothing. To be able to walk out with the right clothing makes a huge difference. Every piece of clothing that is donated is gratefully received by the men, who don't have the means to buy anything for themselves.
If you have any men's winter clothes, shoes or boots that you would be happy to donate, please bring them to YLL HQ: 11 Pride Court, Pride Parkway, Sleaford, NG34 8GL. We are open Monday to Thursday 10am - 2pm. The items must be clean and in a bag, box or container that you no longer need.
Help equip men for life on the outside. Thank you.
