Lincolnshire Rural Support Network Named Charity of the Year for Savills Lincoln

Lincolnshire Rural Support Network (LRSN) is delighted to announce that it has been named Charity of the Year for Savills Lincoln, recognising its outstanding contribution to Lincolnshire’s agricultural and horticultural communities.

LRSN supports Lincolnshire’s rural and agricultural community, many of whom live in isolated locations and experience problems associated with their physical and mental wellbeing. The team of over 70 volunteers and staff support over 160 families annually and carry out over 1000 physical health checks too.

“We are delighted and incredibly proud to be named Charity of the Year,” said Emma Billings, Partnership Coordinator. “This recognition is a testament to the passion, hard work, and compassion of the LRSN staff, volunteers, and supporters. It strengthens our determination to continue delivering vital support to those who need it most.”

This year the Savills team will work with LRSN on events, awareness raising and fundraisers. The series of events lined up so far includes a sponsored sleep out, a charity walk in the Lincolnshire Wolds, a bake sale and a Christmas quiz for clients.

Over the past few years, the agricultural and horticultural industry has faced many challenges and seen demands placed upon its people. LRSN has continued to respond, ensuring its services remain accessible, compassionate, and effective. Support from companies like Savills is vital to continuing the work of LRSN throughout the county.

Johnny Dudgeon, director and head of office at Savills Lincoln, adds: “LRSN plays an essential role in supporting the resilience and wellbeing of Lincolnshire’s rural community, and we are incredibly proud to stand alongside them this year. Our rural teams see firsthand the pressures faced by farming families, and we are committed to helping raise both awareness and vital funds so LRSN can continue delivering its outstanding work across the county.”

Savills is supporting LRSN on its mission to provide a lifeline to members of the agricultural and horticultural community and allied industries across Lincolnshire. By providing personalised and accessible services, LRSN aims to improve the ability of Lincolnshire’s agricultural and horticultural community to live well in the present and thrive and flourish in the future.
