We’re delighted to share that IMP & MAKER is once again supporting the Lincoln City Foundation Annual Gala Dinner, a truly special evening dedicated to celebrating community, generosity and the vital work the Foundation does across our county.
The Lincoln City Foundation Gala Dinner will take place on 12th February 2026 and promises to be an exclusive and memorable night. The evening will be hosted by BBC Radio Lincolnshire sports reporter Rob Makepeace, with an update from Head Coach Michael Skubala, who will be sharing insight into the season so far, as well as the January transfer window. A special after-dinner guest speaker will also be announced shortly.
Lincoln City Foundation is passionate about changing lives across our communities through sport, education and health. Their work raises aspirations and creates opportunities for young people throughout Lincolnshire. Through hosting this event, the Foundation aims to raise much needed funding to sustain current projects and support the development of future initiatives, helping ensure the next generation can thrive.
This year, we’re thrilled to be supporting the Gala Dinner by gifting all guests IMP & MAKER chocolates alongside our yummiest hot chocolate. We’ve also donated one of our signature hampers to the auction, helping to raise vital funds for the Foundation’s ongoing programmes.
Attending the Gala Dinner holds personal significance for Sarah Louise, Founder of IMP & MAKER.
I’m especially looking forward to being there with my daughter. We’re huge Lincoln City fans through and through. It’s an honour to support the Foundation alongside Alex Bavin, whose tireless commitment to the community continues to inspire us. The work the Foundation delivers, from grassroots sport to wellbeing initiatives, makes a remarkable difference to people across Lincolnshire, and we’re genuinely proud to play our small part.
Why This Matters to Us
At IMP & MAKER, we craft our products with heart, from our iconic chocolates made to delight the senses, to our rich and indulgent hot chocolate designed to bring comfort and joy. We believe thoughtful gifting is about more than great taste. It’s about connecting people, celebrating meaningful moments, and supporting the causes that help communities grow stronger.
Partnering with the Lincoln City Foundation reflects these values perfectly. The Gala Dinner is more than an event. It’s a reminder of what can be achieved when businesses, supporters and volunteers come together for a shared purpose.
Hampers with Heart
Our gifts are the very heart of what we do at IMP & MAKER. Thoughtfully curated and beautifully presented, they’re designed to make people feel genuinely valued, whether through indulgent hot chocolate, iconic chocolates, or complete gifting experiences. Alongside our consumer range, we’re especially proud of our corporate gifting offering, with bespoke branded packaging and tailored hampers that help businesses create meaningful moments for clients, teams and partners. Supporting events like this Gala Dinner is a perfect reflection of how our gifts can bring people together while giving back to the community.
A special thank you to the Lincoln City Foundation for allowing us to be part of this wonderful celebration, and to our fellow Lincolnshire businesses supporting the event. Here’s to another inspiring Gala Dinner and to making a difference together.
