Supporting Mental Health, Stroke, and Degenerative Conditions for Patients and their Families throughout Northern Lincolnshire.

Transforming Lives Through Compassionate Support

This year, our charity has proudly supported 65 local individuals through two vital partnerships — each one a testament to the power of community care and timely intervention.

At Fortis Therapy, we’ve provided urgent therapeutic support to 20 people facing deeply challenging mental health concerns. These individuals came to us in crisis, and thanks to our funding, they received the professional help they needed to begin healing. For some, this support was life-saving. For all, it was life-changing.

At Lincs Inspire, we’ve extended our reach to 45 people living with a range of complex conditions — including degenerative illnesses, stroke recovery, and ongoing mental health challenges. Our contribution ensured they had access to tailored programmes that enhanced their well-being, restored dignity, and offered hope to both them and their families.

Without our intervention, these 65 individuals would not have had the opportunity to access the care they urgently needed. Our support has helped prevent suicide, reduce isolation, and improve quality of life in ways that ripple far beyond the individual — strengthening families, friendships, and our wider community.

We are deeply proud of this impact. But we cannot do it alone

If you are moved by the stories of those we’ve helped — and believe in the importance of accessible, compassionate care — we invite you to support our work.

Your funding can help us reach even more people in crisis, and ensure that no one is left behind when they need help the most.

Together, we can continue to change lives.

Our Mission

We are a registered charity with the purpose of supporting physical and degenerative conditions, strokes and mental health challenges for those who are not in a financial position to fund professional support for themselves.

Lottery Grant Awarded to the O’Flynn Foundation
01/06/2026


The O’Flynn Foundation is delighted to share that we have been awarded a £19,995 Lottery Grant to support our work over the next two years.

 

This vital funding will enable us to continue providing the funding for therapy and support for local people facing mental‑health challenges, stroke recovery, and degenerative conditions. These are some of the most vulnerable individuals in our community—people who often have nowhere else to turn and who rely on timely, compassionate intervention.

 

As a small, volunteer‑led charity, this grant will make a meaningful difference to the lives we can touch. It strengthens our ability to respond quickly when that urgent application for someone who is in crisis arrives, so that professional therapy can be delivered when it is urgently needed, and to ensure that no one feels alone in their struggle.

 

We are deeply grateful for this support, which helps us continue our mission of changing lives, one person at a time.



We did it!

What a fantastic experience doing the SkyDive on Saturday 15 November supporting the vital work of the O'Flynn Foundation, an early estimate is that we have received just over £1,400 which is fantastic!

This will support 2 people at Fortis Therapy who are in great need of therapy and support.

Should you wish to continue to support the foundation's work we would be so appreciative, thank you.
