On September 4th 2024, LEAP held its 30th Anniversary Celebration and AGM.
The event brought together our Lincoln and Gainsborough teams, along with local stakeholders, trustees and tenants of LEAP.
Heidi Walton, CEO of LEAP, had this to say about the celebration:
“I am so proud to be a part of this great local charity as it celebrates its 30th anniversary, for which, none of this would be possible without the support of stakeholders, loyal staff, and dedicated Board of Trustees. My personal thanks to all those who helped us celebrate this momentous occasion and a massive thank you to Angela Andrews, CEO of the City Council, for being our special guest of honour.”
During the celebration, a video was showcased to all attendees. It featured LEAP’s current work and team members, as well as the extensive work and staff contributions made throughout LEAP’s 30 years of service. Click below to watch.
