ABOUT US

THE THINGS WE DO TOGETHER CAN CHANGE OUR WORLD

Our objectives are to:


  • Build connections and start a conversation about the opportunities and challenges facing our area.

  • Drive action through connecting local projects with people who can help.

  • Change the narrative about what is possible and showcase great things happening in our community.


We do this by:


  • Connecting – Helping people to come together and be part of a conversation about the future of our community through regular networking events.


  • Promoting – Providing a forum to socialise good things happening locally and test new ideas, and connecting these to the skills and experience of our network.


  • Leading – Delivering projects directly ourselves where our skills and experience can help respond to a need or opportunity locally.

Scunthorpe Tomorrow is a network of people who are passionate about Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire.

Through building on our strengths, we are committed to helping deliver a better future for our community.

WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE TO ALL OUR FUTURES...

HISTORY

Scunthorpe Tomorrow was established by Rob Allen and Tyrone Curran in June 2023 to provide a forum for people from Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire – current residents and those now living elsewhere – who want to connect and be part of a conversation about the future of our community.

We have been inspired by and seek to learn from other places that have successfully mobilised similar networks, including Grimsby and Stoke-on-Trent, while recognising what is different and special about our area. 

ABOUT US

WE ARE ALL ABOUT BUILDING A Better FUTURE FOR SCUNTHORPE

We have identified supporting young people as a particular focus.

While we have some fantastic education assets locally – including John Leggott College, North Lindsey College and University Campus North Lincolnshire – levels of skills attainment in Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire are behind the regional and national averages, and skills retention is also an issue.*

We believe that creating more opportunities for young people locally can benefit our community as a whole.

HOW WE WORK

We are open to everyone with a connection to Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire.  Our members attend in a personal capacity and bring different backgrounds, experience and skills but share a common love for our area and belief in its future.

Scunthorpe Tomorrow is entirely volunteer-led and is facilitated by Rob Allen and Tyrone Curran, supported by a small working group. 

"I was born and raised in Scunthorpe. I've been really lucky to enjoy a successful career as an actor, producer, entrepreneur and now as a co-owner of Scunthorpe United.


I'd love to see more young people from Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire in the creative industries - Scunthorpe Tomorrow is helping me partner with other like-minded people to use my experience for the benefit of our town.”
