The engineering school at the University of Lincoln is the first in the UK for more than 20 years, built in partnership with world famous company Siemens, and the Science and Innovation Park is home to state of the art research and laboratory facilities, with technology, chemistry, pharmaceutical and medical science at its heart. Lincoln is proud to boast two Universities; Bishop Grossteste University, with a vast curriculum, are experts in education and have been training teachers since 1862! Did you know that Lincoln is the only place in the world where you can find original copies of both the 1215 Magna Carta and the 1217 Charter of the Forest? That makes it a hugely popular visitor destination, and the local hospitality and catering industry is booming.

St Barnabas Hospice
It is important that our staff and volunteers have everything they need to fulfil their roles and are supported to get care right for our patients and their families. As a result, staff and volunteers will go the extra mile in sensitively caring for every single person as an individual.
St Barnabas Hospice
We are Lincolnshire's leading independent hospice, committed to providing the highest standard of medical and nursing care for patients living with life limiting illnesses. The hospice has touched the lives of over 39,000 patients and their families since we became one of the first in the UK to open our doors in 1982. And thanks to the generosity of the community, and the skills of our staff and volunteers, we remain at the national forefront of personalised and high quality patient care ever since.
We have grown into one of the country’s biggest and most successful providers of specialist healthcare and as we celebrate our 30th anniversary we will draw upon the expertise and innovation built up by our staff and volunteers over the past three decades to shape quality care over the next 30 years.
Our care is free to all and over half of the costs of £6.8 million a year rely on public donations (both money and goods for shops), fundraising and gifts in wills. Without this support we could not provide the care and support that we pride ourselves on.
