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.”
