Charity’s castle concert boost

A leading Lincolnshire charity is set to benefit from the 12 live concerts taking place at Lincoln Castle next month.

Lincolnshire MS Therapy Centre will be the official charity partner for TK Maxx presents Live At Lincoln Castle for the third year of the concert series – the biggest to date.

Set against the iconic backdrop, the June gigs will welcome an exceptional lineup of artists including Alex James’ Brit Pop Classical, Rick Astley, Deacon Blue and Tom Grennan.

Volunteers from the centre, based on Outer Circle Drive, Lincoln, will attend all 12 shows to collect monetary donations and raise awareness of their vital work among thousands of music fans.

The self-funded centre has supported people living with multiple sclerosis for almost four decades offering a wide range of treatments, holistic therapies, classes and support services — not only for those with MS, but also for people with other neurological conditions, sports injuries, fibromyalgia, cancer and diabetes

Founded 38 years ago by a small group of people living with MS, their families and carers, the centre remains committed to providing accessible, community–led support. 

Maureen Patten, Manager of Lincolnshire MS Therapy Centre, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be chosen as this year’s charity partner. For almost four decades our centre has been a lifeline for people living with MS and other long–term conditions, and this partnership gives us a wonderful opportunity to share that work with thousands of people who may not know support like ours exists. The funds raised will make a real difference to the therapies and services so many local families rely on, and we’re incredibly grateful to be part of such an exciting summer at Lincoln Castle.”

TK Maxx presents Live at Lincoln Castle is presented as part of an ongoing partnership with Lincolnshire County Council and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor.

Cuffe & Taylor promoter Mark Harrison added: “We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with Lincolnshire MS Therapy Centre throughout this year’s concerts. The centre is completely self-funding, which means every penny raised goes straight back into supporting local people. Maureen and her team are a joy to work with, and our concert team can’t wait to give them a warm welcome on site.

“We’re looking forward to helping them raise both awareness and vital funds this summer. Their passion and commitment to the community make them the perfect charity partner for our biggest Lincoln Castle lineup yet.”
