Lincoln-based business Visual Print & Design has held its first open evening since the COVID-19 outbreak, raising hundreds for charity and championing the business’ future capabilities.
The event, which took place at the Visual Print & Design offices in Lincoln on Wednesday, was a showcase to customers and associates alike of the capabilities of the business, as well as a fundraising opportunity for YMCA Lincolnshire.
£275 was raised for the charity, as the 45 people in attendance enjoyed a raffle, live music, catering and demonstrations of Visual Print’s processes and equipment.

It was the business’ first open evening for three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and bosses wanted to highlight the changes that have been implemented in recent times.
Visitors were given a tour of the production facilities, and able to take home a gift printed for them on site.

Visual Print & Design’s head of marketing and business development, Rachael Hunt, said: “It was great to open our doors to people we work with locally, showing them everything we do and can do in the future.
“It of course meant a lot to us to raise money for an important cause in the form of YMCA Lincolnshire. We would like to thank all of our sponsors and donors for their support.”

Tenants living in a large block of council flats on Lincoln’s Ermine Estate have criticised the building’s “run down” condition, highlighting several issues.
Trent View residents, contending with problems such as excessive bird excrement and poor insulation, have also criticised City of Lincoln Council for its delayed handling of ongoing issues like leaks.
As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
