To get to this flourishing future Our Future is dismantling the blockers that prevent people who love their hometown from building the economies, communities, and spaces that they want to see in their area.
We are demonstrating that an alternative way is possible and that a programme of local and national renewal can be delivered through a different model.
One that grows within an area, builds interdependence and solidarity, backs local leaders, motivates action, fosters entrepreneurialism, and connects the present to the future.
An approach to change that embodies the flourishing, relational future that is the end goal.
Our Future is founded on five principles which we have developed through our work in Grimsby, our practical experiences and academic insight. They form the foundation for all of our work.
Build on local history and identity to shape a vision that resonates and mobilises
Forge strong social bonds that underpin collaboration and sustainable community efforts.
Put decision-making back into the hands of community members.
Align local economic development with broader social goals to ensure shared prosperity.
We reimagine the role of finance to support long-term, holistic community transformation.
