Sarah PoucherLincolnshire Rural Support Network (LRSN) is proud to announce that it has been recognised as a winner at this year’s SME News Northern Enterprise Awards.
LRSN has been named Best Countryside Wellbeing and Support Charity – Lincolnshire and has also received the Compassion and Community Service Excellence Award 2025, celebrating its outstanding commitment to supporting the county’s rural and agricultural community.
“We are incredibly honoured to receive these awards,” said Amy Thomas, Head of Charity for LRSN. “This recognition reflects the dedication and passion of the entire LRSN team, and it motivates us to continue striving towards our vision that no one in Lincolnshire’s agricultural and horticultural community suffers alone.”
The awards come at a particularly significant time for the charity, following ongoing challenges facing the agricultural industry. This recognition further reinforces LRSN’s reputation for delivering a consistent, compassionate, and trusted service to rural communities across Lincolnshire.
Awards Coordinator Melissa Bramall shared her thoughts on the 2025 winners:
“The past 12–24 months have been filled with ups and downs, opportunities and challenges, and the peaks and troughs that come with business no matter what industry you’re in. Yet our awardees continue to stand tall. Whether they’re taking their first steps or are longstanding and seasoned enterprises, our winners are all making waves for those around them. It’s a pleasure to be part of your story of success.”
LRSN supports Lincolnshire’s rural and agricultural community, many of whom live in isolated locations and experience challenges linked to their physical and mental wellbeing. Supported by a team of over 70 staff and volunteers, the charity assists more than 160 families each year and carries out around 1,000 health checks annually.
