Today we got inside Victoria Mills and properly looked at what this space could become.

It’s hard to explain just how big it is until you’re standing in it.

We had some really positive conversations with the right people around the table, including the council, architects and potential partners like Abstract Circus CIC

Also great to see the Ice Factory Trust in attendance, always good to learn from projects already making things happen in Grimsby.

It’s early stages, but this felt like a big step forward.

Something special could happen here.

🚨 BIG NEWS FOR GRIMSBY 🚨

After so much support from those who’ve already backed us — especially everyone who grabbed a Founding Supporters T-shirt to help make this dream a reality…

👉 We’ve now secured £10,000 of National Lottery funding to take the first real step.

Massive thanks to Create North East Lincolnshire and the National Lottery Heritage Fund for backing the project 🙌

This means we can now start uncovering the hidden stories of Victoria Mills and begin shaping what could become something special for this town.

A climbing and community hub right here in Grimsby.

But this only works if people actually want it.

💬 So be honest:

👉 Would you use a climbing centre in Grimsby?
👉 Would your kids?
👇 Comment YES or NO

This is just the beginning. Let’s build something together.
