What people are saying:

Hear from individuals who work part-time in sport and physical activity within Lincolnshire.

“Working part-time as a Leisure Assistant helped fund my university course and gave me invaluable experience. The evening and weekend shifts meant I never missed a lecture, and I got to earn money doing something I really enjoyed”

Ben, East Lindsey

“After leaving my full-time office job to raise my children, I missed having the camaraderie of people who talked about something other than Netflix. Now, teaching three fitness classes a week perfectly fits around the school day. I get to stay active, earn a bit of money, and feel genuinely fulfilled by helping other people feel good.”

Kathy, East Lindsey

“My main job is in finance, which is rewarding but sedentary. My part-time role coaching grassroots football on Saturday mornings is a real energy boost for me and something I look forward to every week. I get to share my lifelong passion of football and get out in, what can some weeks be, very fresh air!”

John, Lincolnshire
