Dementia Support Group

Being diagnosed with a life changing illness can be completely bewildering, isolating and debilitating.

We would like to invite you to attend these get togethers, which are held at the Marisco Medical Practice, in Stanley Avenue, Mablethorpe – the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of every month, 10.00 – 11.30am.

Activities we currently offer include: gentle exercise, dance, crafts, singing sessions, as well as the chance to just connect with other people.

Please don’t lose out on this fantastic opportunity.

Free Bus Service to Louth Hospital

A new, free bus service to Louth is now in place, funded by the Costal Community Challenge, Mablethorpe Christian Fellowship and Rotary Club. This service operates between Mablethorpe North end (Sandilands) and Louth County Hospital. The aim of the community bus is to ensure relatives/friends, who do not have access to a vehicle, are able to visit patients in Louth hospital. The bus service will operate as a free, door-to-door service and seats can be booked by contacting Nigel Collins on 07775 844206. See Free Bus Service to Louth Hospital.

We are part of the C-Card Scheme. This Scheme provides free condoms and sexual health information to young people aged 13 – 19 years old. To join the C-Card scheme you need to register with us.
