New Play area – Honeyholes Lane
At the time of printing the new play area on Honeyholes Lane should be all installed and being enjoyed by family and friends. This play area includes pieces of equipment that are fully accessible to all. Hopefully this will enable families and friends to enjoy time together. When weather permits, it is planned to put a sensory garden in the corner of the playarea.
Dunholme Community Connexions
This is a new, free community initiative, which will be run in connection with the NHS Mental Health & Well-Being Transformation Programme and Bridge in Lincoln, and is intended as a friendly, safe and relaxing space where you can simply come along, enjoy a free tea or coffee and a chat, whilst listening to some relaxing music. (You are welcome to bring your own lunch!)
If you need some extra help and support with Benefit or Debt Advice, Job Applications, C.V. Writing, Anxiety Issues or something else you might be struggling with at the moment or just want someone to talk to then please come along and if not, then that is fine, just come along anyway. We will have a number of professional people on site at different times, with experience and expertise in a wide range of issues, who will be able to help you in a confidential and accessible way.
So if you are out of work, lonely, anxious or simply want to get out of the house and meet some new people, then why not pop down to the Jubilee Room at the rear of Dunholme Village Hall, Honeyholes Lane on a Wednesday lunchtime, anytime between 11 am and 1 pm.
Sessions will initially run every fortnight, over a trial period of 12 weeks, commencing on 11th September. (11th Sept, 25th Sept, 9th Oct, 23rd Oct, 6th Nov, 20th Nov)

Following on from my appeal last month for help with the PDA fund raising events, to date I have had 4 ladies come forward who are willing to assist with our fund-raising events. This is an excellent result and they will be joining us at our next event, the Autumn Fayre where they will get the chance to see the layout of the kitchen at Welton Village Hall in preparation for the Christmas lunch. I am really grateful to them for offering to help!
At the time of writing this in mid-July I have 3 main prizes offered for the Christmas raffle and can now get the tickets printed. We still need more prizes (we usually have around 35 promised) so if anyone has a business or contacts with a business who they think would be willing to offer a prize please let me know and I am happy to make contact. It could be the garage who services your car, the golf club you belong to, the gym where you have membership, the restaurant/ pub you visit regularly. The list is endless!
Our next event will be the Autumn Fayre to be held on Saturday 26th October. If anyone would like to hire a table for £10 to sell their own crafts etc at this event, please let me know. We have already had some tables reserved but can still fit a few more in. We can’t unfortunately accept cake sellers as we have our own cake stall, and no hot food sales in the hall! We also have our own raffle and tombola.
We are also asking for donations of cakes and pastries for both the cake stall and the café, tombola prizes, small gifts for Trash or Treasure and bottles of wine for the wine or water stall which is always popular. If you need any further information don’t hesitate to give me a call. Any donations you have can be collected!
Dates for our events in 2024 are:
Autumn Fayre Saturday 26th October 2pm to 4.30pm
Christmas Lunch Friday 6th December
Any further information on any of the above don’t hesitate to give me a call (862570) Janet Goddard

Flooding Risk
According to the Environment
Agency, over two million people in England live and work in
properties at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, whilst more
face flood threats from groundwater, surface water, sewers, and
reservoirs.
At Gocompare, we have put together a
guide to preparing for a flood and protecting your property
- https://www.gocompare.com/household-tips/limiting-flood-risk-and-damage/
In extreme conditions you won't be
able to stop flood water, and you should always put personal safety
above attempts to protect property and possessions. Despite this,
there are steps that you can take to keep water out, to buy
yourself time to preserve property and possessions, and to limit
the damage that flood water does.
We think this information would be
useful for your readers and wonder if you would consider linking to
our guide at your page http://www.dunholme.org.uk/public-services
Thank you for your support, we're
extremely grateful.
Kind regards,
Catherine Bailey
