Great day representing Andys Man Club Skegness and Andys Man Club Louth, at Farmer Browns Tractor Run yesterday. 🚜
It was great to raise awareness and also have the support of Skegness Mayor - Dan Kirk.
If you are struggling or know someone who is, then our doors are open tonight from 6.45pm.
We are located at 40 Algitha Road in Skegness (next to the Methodist Church) or at Elizabeth Court in Louth ( opposite the Bus Station).
We will welcome you with a brew, a biscuit and a safe space to chat.

💚 One of the most confusing parts of living with Gastroparesis is this:

💚 How can we still feel hungry when we’re bloated, nauseous, and full after only a few bites of food?

💚 The answer is that Gastroparesis doesn’t just affect how much we eat — it affects how our stomach empties and how our brain receives hunger and fullness signals.

💚 Our stomachs may still contain food from hours earlier, causing bloating, nausea, pressure, and early fullness. Yet our bodies can still be crying out for nourishment because we aren’t absorbing enough calories and nutrients to meet our needs. Blood sugar fluctuations, malnutrition, and the body’s natural drive to survive can all trigger feelings of hunger, even when eating feels impossible.

It’s a cruel contradiction:
💚 Your stomach says, “I can’t fit another bite.”
🩵 Your body says, “I need fuel.”
💛 Your brain is left trying to make sense of both.

💚 If you’ve ever found yourself staring at food feeling hungry but terrified of the pain, nausea, or discomfort that may follow, please know you’re not alone. This is a very real part of Gastroparesis that many people struggle to explain to those around them.

💚 Be gentle with yourself. You’re not being “dramatic,” “greedy,” or “imagining it.” You’re navigating a complex illness that often sends mixed signals every single day.

💚 How many of you can relate to feeling both hungry and full at the exact same time? Share your experiences below so others know they aren’t alone. 💚🩵💛

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue

We’re supporting , the national water safety campaign by Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK working to prevent drowning through education and awareness.

Recent accidents have made everyone more aware of the need for strong water safety knowledge.

While swimming is a great skill, it’s not enough by itself to stay safe in open water.
