HELPING TO BUILD A better FUTURE FOR SCUNTHORPE

Thank you so much to the more than 70 of you who joined us at our first Scunthorpe Place Lab on Friday the 18th of October 2024.

We loved welcoming you to the Oasis Community Space and left feeling inspired and energised by the pride in our town and commitment to action to make it even better.

  • We started by summarising what Scunthorpe means to all of us in one word.

  • Our panel of Scunthorpe Tomorrow members discussed their connections to Scunthorpe and different perspectives on the opportunities for our area – you can watch the full conversation in the video above and look out for some “best bits” clips on LinkedIn.

  • We then had a series of breakout discussions that explored how we build connections, take action and change the narrative locally – we’ll share more of the outputs of these discussions over the coming weeks.

  • Finally, we each made our individual pledge for action. It’s been amazing to see some of these, ranging from “telling a friend about Scunthorpe Tomorrow”, through to offers to host events and get involved in our working group that powers Scunthorpe Tomorrow and organises events like this one (details on how to get involved below!).

a packed morning of making connections and exploring the future!

We were fortunate to be featured by the local BBC – you can read the interview with Ty and Ian here, and Rob appeared on Radio Humberside on Monday – listen back here (from 08.12am / 2h12m in). You may have caught us on Look North the other day too!

How you can help


  • Inspired to get involved? Please drop us an email and we’ll be in touch.

  • We will be hosting Christmas drinks on Thursday 12 December at a town centre location. If you’d like to join us please get in touch.

  • Finally… we are all about making connections – many of you have told us you left the lab with new contacts, and we really hope you’ll be able to continue the conversation.

    You can also engage with our growing Scunthorpe Tomorrow community on 
    LinkedIn.
