Testimonials

YORSwitch customer: I just wanted to thank you again for your speed and efficiency in enabling me to join the scheme so quickly and take advantage of the 'reduced' rate. I have been very anxious about refilling the oil tank but this scheme has eased some of that concern. Many thanks

Fiona - Electric Tricycle User, Age 51. 'I purchased an electric tricycle as I have Multiple Sclerosis and can no longer ride a bicycle due to poor balance and mobility issues. I have found that being out on my tricycle that my fitness has improved and it has had an impact on weight loss. With the pedal assist I am still able to pedal and use my legs which is important to keep my muscles active, reduce numbness and I am also able to cycle further including hills and this also helps with fatigue as I tire easily. I have enjoyed being able to access local rural areas which has had a positive impact on my mental health and wellbeing, especially during this difficult time due to Covid-19 and being isolated as a clinically vulnerable person. This has meant that I have been able to get out of the house and feel safe whilst exercising. There are a lot of support groups on social media where I have met other like minded cyclists who have offered invaluable support and advice and I have met up with another lady tricycle rider as a riding companion.'

Mrs Surfleet a registered customer of the car scheme thanked HWRA for an excellent service and also to personally thank the driver, Terry for his help and assitance in providing transport to her medical appointment.

Wheels to Work North Lincolnshire Scheme - John from Grimsby ‘I joined the scheme in 2021 after hearing about it from a family member. I was in need of transport to get to and from work as I had my motorbike stolen and was not able to replace it. As a short-term arrangement I was relying on a family member to take and pick me up from work. For me the key benefit of the wheels to work scheme was that it provided me with a scooter that enabled me to get to and from work, it also gave me back independence and freedom. I would definitely recommend the scheme and I have done so to friends who are need of transport to get to work. Don’t’ underestimate the scooters as they are extremely reliable . My experience of the scheme was great, and I was glad that I was successful in receiving a scooter via the scheme’.

North Lincolnshire Alliance Volunteer Hub - Live Well North Lincolnshire

Our Aims and Objectives

We are here to support and enable the people of North Lincolnshire to take an active part in volunteering within their communities through accessible support and information from our volunteering advisers.

The Volunteer Hub are a central service provided by The Voluntary Community & Social Enterprise Alliance North Lincolnshire. The VCSE Alliance is a group of voluntary and community sector organisations who came together to form the Alliance so that they could work better together and support other voluntary and community groups across North Lincolnshire.

We work in partnership with a wide range of voluntary and community groups and organisations to develop and grow diverse volunteering opportunities across North Lincolnshire. We support grass roots groups to take voluntary action in their communities and remain sustainable.

Our service – How we can help

We offer a service to promote voluntary and community organisations’ volunteering opportunities to potential volunteers face to face, at events and online through this website, our Facebook page, and via our monthly volunteering newsletter.

It is a free advertising service that enables you to reach a wide range of potential volunteers in a simple way.

If someone is interested in your volunteering opportunities, we will signpost them to the volunteering contact within your organisation or notify you of their contact details and ask you to get in touch with them to take things further. (Whichever the potential volunteer prefers).

We do not “vet” potential volunteers on your behalf, so you still need to carry out your volunteer recruitment and selection processes.
