Join The Greater Lincolnshire Mentoring Programme, run by the University of Lincoln and the Business Lincolnshire Sustainable Growth Programme, to access a series of one-to-one mentoring meetings and peer support sessions led by highly experienced business leaders.

The programme is open to eligible* business owners and leaders operating in any sector, and offers one-to-one support from mentors with extensive experience and advice which is bespoke to your situation.

The six-month programme requires you to dedicate no more than three hours of your time each month. Currently all mentoring meetings and group workshops take place at the University of Lincoln or virtually owing to coronavirus restrictions.
