Hello, welcome to the Gainsborough Wishes website.
If you want to know what’s going on in our town have a look here, you might see something of interest! On this site you will find all sorts of community groups including Wellbeing support, craft and sports groups. If you want a cuppa and a chat several of our churches have cafes and some offer community lunches. There is certainly no need to feel bored or lonely in Gainsborough! If you are a community group in town you can showcase yourselves here so people can see what you do. If your group is organising an event or looking for volunteers or trying to raise funds please contact us and we can post your wishes here.
There is no charge involved at all we just want to show that Gainsborough is a lively caring town with much to offer.

Hats off to the LEAP team in Gainsborough!!
August 2021. Some of our streets are looking brighter today! The folks taking part in the community art project run by HATS had a most successful weekend painting some of the telecom boxes around town. Funded by West Lindsey Council and the Stop Loan Sharks organisation the scheme brought together other community groups and local residents. For more information and images go to the LEAP Community Art page in the Environment section. What a fantastic initiative and we think you will agree these paintings are stunning! We hope those taking part are feeling proud of themselves and didn’t get too wet in the rain. Well done!
