Grimsby and NE Lincs are the trailblazer for Our Future, where we are developing the approach together and showing what is possible.
Since 2021, we’ve been developing a joyful new way of working that celebrates the shared history and uses that to build a vision and action that is Bold in Hope and Bold in Scope.
The story of Grimsby has been one of loss of the fishing industry, of ambitious young people who are expected to leave the town to get a good job. However, there is growing opportunity here and phenomenal leaders who aren’t waiting for permission but are getting on and making change happen today.
