Causes & Charities
We have Supported
The FFN is not just a wine appreciation society that stages wine tastings to promote Lincoln's connections with Neustadt.
We also raise money for needy charity organisations such as the Lincoln County Hospital and St. Barnabas Hospice who appreciate our help & financial contributions.
Our 'Gluh Wein' stall at the annual Lincoln Christmas Market makes a large amount of money each year and every penny raised is donated to local charities.
Below are a list of charity organisations that we've helped over the past years...
