The community magazine for Sleaford and surrounding villages
May at Your Local Lincs
May seems to be continuing with the theme set by the previous month with plenty of sunny weather and bank holidays! With Easter appearing late this year, the days off are still coming thick and fast, but this downtime hasn’t stopped us putting together another bumper edition for you full of great content: articles, what’s on, exploring places and chatting to people in our community.
Although it actually took place in March, our interview with the artist of the new mural in town, Peachzz, features this month. Remember to check out the video version of our chat with her below. We also dropped in on our local toad patrol group (this year’s campaign has now ended and we hear that the first toad spawn has been spotted in the ponds!), we’ve been chatting to our local Morris dancing group, we dropped in on the community swimming pool in Heckington (fortunately not literally), and we attended the Children of Courage Awards. There’s no time for days off in our world!
This month sees World Bee Day on the 20th and you can read the buzz about that. There’s great theatre going on from both Sleaford Little Theatre and the Heckington Players, and we give you the chance to win tickets to the latter’s production! Miller Magic are back with a Tribute to the Swing Era (you can win tickets for this too!), the Sleaford Model Railway have an exhibition, and let’s not forget about Sleaford Live which happens from the 2nd to the 11th.
Each month we’re able to put out magazines that the community look forward to thanks to our advertisers. If you’re a reader, then make sure to mention us if you contact any of them. If you’re a business that’s thinking of advertising with us, remember that not only will we help get your name out to all our readers, you’ll also help to power this much-loved and much-valued resource for the community. We’ve been going for 20 years now, and in that time, we’ve become a monthly fixture and the go-to place for business listings, community listings, what’s on, and championing the people and places that make our community the great place it is. If you’d like to be a part of this, then we’d love to hear from you.
Have a great month and we’ll see you next time!

What Our Customers Say
Advertising
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Your Local Lincs for a couple of years now, and it’s been an absolute delight! Visitors to the mill frequently mention they found us in the magazine.
Rich and the team are great to work with and often pop along to our events to support us and take photos. Their professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to support local events and businesses are commendable, and truly appreciated.
From start to finish, they’ve demonstrated an understanding of our needs and consistently support us, bringing a level of passion and enthusiasm that is infectious.
Working with Your Local Lincs has been an enjoyable experience and we look forward to continuing our partnership in the future. Highly recommended!
Sleaford Town Council have been advertising with Your Local Lincs for approximately 8 years. We initially advertised to let people know about the rooms we had for hire at Sleaford Town Hall and this has progressed into us having a regular slot in the publication. We have a full news page every other month in Your Local Lincs and all our event posters are also published.
We definitely notice that residents of Sleaford and the surrounding villages are seeing what we publicise and we are also able to share the information on our social media pages using the magazine links on the Your Local Lincs website.
The publications each month are full of useful information and we would definitely recommend Your Local Lincs to anyone! The staff couldn’t be more helpful, friendly and communicative. What more could you wish for!
Every time I speak to customers they say they got my number from this magazine!

“We’ve advertised with Your Local Lincs since it first started and we have continued to find this the most successful form of advertising.”
“Advertising with Your Local Lincs pays for itself. People like to use a local tradesman and this is the best place to advertise in our area.”
Leaflets
“Our recent leafletting campaign with Your Local Lincs has been a great success, with many new PC Support customers and several businesses wanting new web sites. I will definitely be using Your Local Lincs to distrubute my leaflets 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.
