Grimbarians turns 5!

Dan Clarke • 4 January 2023
Grimbarians turns 5!

5 years ago, on 1st January 2018, we launched Grimbarians, a photo documentary project to shine a light on people who are making positive changes to Grimsby in their own way. Since then, and with your continuing support, we’ve achieved quite a bit…


- Showcased 58 Grimbarians, each nominated by you for their dedication to Grimsby 


- Teamed up with Grimsby Town Football Club to shine a light on the people behind the Club - One Of Our Own


- Commissioned creatives for a history project, telling stories of the people from Grimsby’s past - Grimbarians Through Time


- Collaborated with talented artists who have created exclusive hometown artwork


- Held exhibitions


- Hosted panel talks, including one under the moon with TheCultureHouse


- Published three editions of a good news only newspaper


- Launched an online shop


- Won an award


- And preparing to open our very own studio!


And, we have much more to come in 2023! To celebrate, we’ll have big updates and news to share throughout the year, but for now we have to say a huge THANK YOU for supporting Grimbarians CIC, for sharing all the positives of our hometown, and for proving time and time again that #GrimsbyReallyIsMore.
