Compassionate Lincoln are hosting a series of events this October exploring ‘The Welcome of Home’. These events address ideas of belonging, of building compassionate communities, and of never turning down the chance of making a new friend.

The first event is the Lincoln Big Soup, a (pleasant) dragons den-style competition in which local people pitch their ideas for innovative community projects.

It will take place this Saturday (6 October), 11:30-13:00, at Lincoln Drill Hall. Tickets are available here: www.lincolndrillhall.com/shows/the-big-lincoln-soup. £5.00 per ticket, with all money raised from the ticket sales going to the winning pitch, which is voted for by the audience!
