Global Doughnut Days Lincoln 2025

In 2023, Lincoln LocalMotion and Climate Hope Lincoln invited Rob Shorter from the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) to the University of Lincoln to share Doughnut Economics (DE) with us.

Maybe you were one of the eighty plus people who attended?

During this event in 2023 the Doughnut identified 4 Clusters for our place 1) Access to Nature, 2) Marginalised Voices, 3) Better Business & Social Enterprise & 4) Community Engagement.

Between 14th to 17th October inclusive we’ll be taking a closer look at all four clusters across four days of in person sessions at Mint Lane Wellbeing Hub LN1.

Rebekah is passionate about Citizen Science and engaging with local schools, exploring Nature positive themes with the young people and empowering them to be the difference in their community.
Access to Nature & Community Engagement are two important topics to bring the week to a close & consider our next steps going forward. Nature is important for our wellbeing but we’ll also consider access to Nature for hedgehogs & co-creating more Hedgehog Highways in Lincoln. Asking important questions such as ‘how can we help Nature’s Recovery now.’
