mygrimsby Fund
Supporting our local community
The mygrimsby Fund is a joint community initiative created in collaboration with myenergi and Grimsby Town Football Club.
The initiative was established in 2022 and will continue over three years, with the aim of putting action to our words and fulfilling our promise to put the local community at the forefront of our partnership.
Driving positive social impact together
The first year saw 24 community groups, including a number of grassroots sport and activity clubs, environmental and cultural projects, innovation technology and educational workshops, eco warriors and community heroes; and local charities/social enterprises, receive support for a variety of initiatives.
The 24 supported initiatives included BeGreatFitness‘s Food for Thought Project, an innovative educational resource pack designed for secondary schools KS4 and sixth form, and The Canoe River Cleaner‘s ongoing environmental project to improve the health of the River Freshney and prevent plastic pollution, and many more.
This season, the fund will be open to businesses that operate within the North East Lincolnshire postcode and will support 6 community projects and initiatives throughout the duration of the year.
The 6 groups supported will cover 3 core areas:
