About
How Are You (H.A.Y.) Lincolnshire is a family of websites that bring together everything in the local community that boosts wellbeing.
Connecting with others, getting active, learning a new skill, being creative, seeking professional support, exploring the outdoors, volunteering – all of these things (and more) can improve our wellbeing. However, it isn’t always easy to know what is out there locally or to feel comfortable trying something new.
H.A.Y. is all about helping you look after you. The websites provide not just listings of local activities, groups and services but also video introductions to group organisers and taster clips of what to expect. H.A.Y. aims to support you both finding out what you might like to get involved in and in taking those first steps.
From yoga to singing, sports clubs to arts groups, or perhaps somewhere to talk or get a cup of tea, H.A.Y. brings you ideas of local things to do to get a wellbeing boost. Plus a wide range of local professional support.

H.A.Y. features activities, groups or services in Lincolnshire that make a positive difference to wellbeing locally, if they support our vision: Wherever you live in Lincolnshire, you will have access to the mental health support that you need, when you need it.

H.A.Y. is driven by local people. The websites continue to evolve in response to local need and we always welcome feedback. H.A.Y. originally began in Peterborough as part of the Peterborough Exemplar, an early-adopter site for the NHS-England Community Mental Health Transformation.
