Welcome to Grimbarians, a place to celebrate the extraordinary and inspiring people of Grimsby.
Explore our stories about local people who are positively changing the narrative of their communities, their workplaces and making our hometown a greater place.
By highlighting stories of true life in Grimsby today, we’re showing that
#grimsbyreallyismore – and you can join us in this mission too.
Where it all started and what it's all about. The people of Grimsby.
There will no doubt be some faces that you recognise but also some that will be new to you. From award winning chocolatiers to education providers, beer brewers to fish smokers, we shine a light on the inspiring locals that prove #grimsbyreallyismore.
As many of you are already aware, we have joined forces with the Our Future team to create a compelling roundup of positive news from the past year! You'll find the familiar uplifting stories you've come to expect from us, now compiled into a compendium of inspiring tales.
The heartwarming narratives within this document reaffirm our sense of community and strengthen our collective vision of what it means to be a Grimbarian. Each story highlights the impact that every individual can have on our town, community, and the world at large.
Explore the compilation through the link below and immerse yourself in stories of creativity, community spirit, and a commitment to a greener way of life. And, of course, true to Grimbarians tradition, we've included a couple of Grimbarians Profiles to round out the publication!

We created The Grimbarians Studio as a space that is affordable and friendly for creatives to come together and work on projects together.
“The town has an amazing past of course, but that should only inspire people to guarantee it also has an amazing future too. I’m a Grimsby boy, it’s home to me and my family and always will be. It has an opportunity to re-invent itself as a town but can only do this with a hefty dose of self-belief.”
In recent years, Grimsby’s profile has seen a change with a wave of positivity thanks to local people's dedication and a growing faith in the area.
Grimbarians is more than a not-for-profit organisation. It is a creative movement, born to change the story line of the town and the way people identify the area.
Through documenting and showcasing the lives of local people, we aim to promote confidence in the area, increase pride and build a stronger, more positive reputation for Great Grimsby because #grimsbyreallyismore.
