Campus for Future Living Celebrates First Birthday with 200+ Guests in Mablethorpe

17 Jun 2026

More than 200 neighbours, members and experts came together at Mablethorpe’s Campus of Future Living to mark the community hub’s first birthday.

The Stanley Avenue facility, a unique centre for health, wellbeing, education, training and local businesses, was buzzing with visitors on Wednesday, 10th June for three special events:

The Ideas Summit brought together Campus members, partners and stakeholders to share insights, explore opportunities and help shape the future of the Campus and its role in supporting the community.

The launch of East Lindsey District Council’s new Age-friendly Assessment Report, highlighted a shared commitment to helping people live healthier, more independent and fulfilling lives for longer.

The Campus opened up to the whole community for food, fun activities for all the family and an inside look at the Campus.

Since opening in June 2025, the Campus on Stanley Avenue, has quickly become a vital hub where the local community can connect, build skills, improve their health and enhance their wellbeing.

Owned by East Lindsey District Council and operated by Acis Group, the Campus was made possible with £8.6 million in funding from the Government’s Towns Fund overseen by Connected Coast.

Claire Woodward, Director of Community Investment at Acis Group, said: “What an incredible day! It was humbling to see so many of our Campus members, people from the community and our loyal customers coming together to mark our first birthday.

“The Campus has helped to tackle so many issues faced by coastal communities in the last 12 months from isolation and wellbeing to health and education.

“It has taken a phenomenal amount of work but it’s been worth it to see so many people walk through those doors every day. Thank you to everyone involved in making the Campus such a success in such a short space of time.”

Cllr William Gray, Portfolio Holder for Communities and Better Ageing at East Lindsey District Council, said: “The Campus for Future Living is at the heart of our commitment to creating new opportunities for health and wellbeing, bringing together partners to ensure services and facilities are accessible for all. It was therefore fitting that we marked the Campus’ first anniversary by celebrating our Ageing Well ambassadors and launching the Ageing Well report.

“As an Ageing Better district, East Lindsey is dedicated to listening to and supporting the needs of older residents, and I am proud to see this reflected in both the report and the work taking place across the Campus.

"Over the past 12 months, it has been inspiring to watch the Campus grow into the thriving hub of support, collaboration and opportunity we always believed it would be.”
