LRSN

Who we are

Established in 1999, LRSN has provided emotional and practical help to Lincolnshire’s agricultural and horticultural community for over 25 years and has always maintained a clear and steady focus on the needs of the people and community we support. We are Lincolnshire’s listening ear, we understand and can relate to the problems faced by the agricultural and horticultural community in times of crisis, stress, and change. We harness the wealth of skills and experience of our dedicated team of trustees, volunteers, and staff, and work closely with people, families, and partners to deliver high quality and need-led services.

Everything we do is underpinned by our commitment to building trusted and confidential relationships, and is directed towards offering a hand of friendship, support without judgment and an understanding that we all experience difficult times. LRSN walks with and empowers people to address the challenges that create barriers to them fulfilling their potential; helping them to get back on track together.

We are a listening organisation, and our approach is one of compassion, understanding and empowerment, and we always work to leave a positive and lasting legacy after our direct support has ended. Our ethos is centred around empowering people to deliver a better future for themselves, to live well in the present and thrive and flourish in the future.
