Yesterday I wrote a post about focusing on developing community assets and enterprises within Grimsby. But what does this mean? It refers to a strategic approach aimed at building and enhancing resources and businesses that are of value to the local community. This can include a range of projects and initiatives: 1. Community Assets: These are properties or spaces that are owned or managed by community organisations for public benefit. Examples include community centres, parks, libraries, and sports facilities. Developing these assets means improving, expanding, or creating new spaces that serve the community's needs and interests. 2. Community Enterprises: These are businesses that are set up, owned, and run by the local community. They often reinvest profits back into the community. Examples can include local co-operatives, social enterprises, and community-run shops or cafes. Developing these enterprises means supporting the growth of businesses that not only serve the local economy but also contribute to the social and communal well-being of Grimsby. The focus on these areas implies that initiatives and investments in Grimsby should prioritise projects that bring tangible benefits to the community, boost the local economy, and enhance the quality of life for its residents. This is happening a lot in Grimsby but not everyone is aware of these brilliant community organisations. I am joining one of these organisations next Tuesday at an event they have organised "Our Future Open House 2023" in collaboration with East Marsh United I attended last year and came away inspired and humbled. I believe there are still tickets available.
