Lincolnshire Social Outcomes Partnership Logo

Lincolnshire Social Outcomes Partnership (LSOP) is a Community Interest Company that connects neighbourhood-led health ideas with the investment they need to start, grow and last.

Supported by

In Lincolnshire, the people who most need health support are too often the hardest to reach. The organisations best placed to help them are sometimes the least supported to do it.


Our goal is to connect the solutions to unmet needs with the investment that they require, and provide the support and positivity to ensure ideas become a sustainable reality.

Why we are different

We support ideas to improve health in Lincolnshire

We do not simply distribute money and step back. We invest, we enable, we oversee and we stay involved. We bring together community insight, clinical partners and social investment in a structured and accountable way so that the right services can start, grow and scale.

We connect organisations with the funding and support they need

We work collaboratively with public, private and voluntary sector partners to design and deliver services that the NHS alone cannot. We focus on health, wellbeing and social equity, tackling local challenges through innovative, outcomes-based approaches.

We are a connector that allows all partners to grow

By connecting ideas with funding and support we can deliver better health outcomes for every resident of Lincolnshire.

How we work

We bring together three things that rarely sit in the same place: community insight, clinical partners and social investment.

  1. We find the ideas. We identify community-led services and programmes that could improve health outcomes across Lincolnshire.
  2. We back them properly. We connect them with social investment, clinical partners and system support, in a structured and accountable way.
  3. We stay involved. We oversee delivery, measure outcomes and hold the work to account, so that services last rather than stall.

We are not a grant funder. We do not distribute money and step back. We are not the NHS. We deliver what the NHS alone cannot.

Our People

John English, Executive Director

My career has been in two halves, with the first being spent in retail running supermarkets and leading retail operations within airports and shopping centres. In the second half, I then joined Macmillan heading up a regional fundraising team in 2010, before working for Whitbread (Premier Inn) and Costa Coffee for 10 years, leading their community, charity and Foundation initiatives in the UK and globally. Most recently I was Head of Community at Loungers.
 
I am passionate about making a difference to local communities and creating effective partnerships to deliver positive change. I have extensive experience developing strategic plans, increasing engagement, managing stakeholder relationships and delivering a wide variety of community programmes.
 
I live in Mansfield, just over the border from Lincolnshire, with my wife who works within the health sector and 2 sons, outside of work I am one of the few Mansfield Town FC supporters, enjoy our local scenery and history and love to travel.
