City are offering supporters the opportunity to nominate local charities who will have a chance of becoming a Lincoln City named charity partner in 2026.
Everyone at the club would also like to extend our thanks to Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance and LIVES, who have been the nominated charity partners as chosen by the fans over the past 12 months.
For 2026, two new local charities will be voted for by the supporters to replace these.
Throughout the season, the club will be committed towards helping the adopted charities to assist with fundraising activities and events which are aimed to raise their profile in support of obtaining further local support.
We would welcome nominations for charities who are based, or conduct the majority of their work, within Lincoln (up to a 20-mile radius of the LNER Stadium). In a change to this year, we will ensure one of the two selected charities are a 'small to medium sized' charity. This will be a local charity who have a turnover of less than £1million per year.
Due to the high volume of ongoing requests, the club unfortunately cannot support all local charities, however we will continue to support other charities via a monthly prize draw.
To nominate a local charity please email charity@theredimps.com with the name of your nominated charity. The full process for the vote to become an official 2026 charity partner is outlined below:
Stage one - fans to nominate local charities by Friday 12 December at 9am.
Stage two - charities that receive enough nominations will then be put to a formal fan vote.
**Please note that this fan vote will include polls via the club website. Supporters will also have the opportunity to vote at the ticket office and club shop by putting a slip in the charity box during these dates. 2026 will see two new charity partners elected so Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance and LIVES will not be eligible for the supporter vote **
Stage three - the charity with the highest total number of votes will be adopted as one of our charity partners for 2026. Should this not be a charity with a turnover of less than £1m then the charity with a turnover of less than £1m per annum who receive the next highest number of votes will be selected as the second charity partner.
