Below is a volunter description for the Circles Project run by Humbercare Ltd.
Page 27 of the MAPPA report highlights the case of Maria (not her real name). Forced to leave the north bank, she was given temporary accommodation in the Grimsby area through Humbercare’s housing project which is in Grimsby. Without friends or family and with deep rooted mental health problems, and a conviction for a serious offence, Circles was asked to help. After two years the circle ended, without Maria causing further problems and an improvement in her mental health and social engagement.

Message on behalf of the North East Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Partnership Independent Chair Chris Cook
I have been the Independent Chair of the North East Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Partnership since October 2022.
In that time, we have undertaken a review of the SCP governance arrangements, this has led to moving from having two Outcomes, “all children are and feel safe” and “safeguarding arrangements are effective” to the following priorities, based on data analysis and findings from local practice.
In order to achieve the delivery of the priorities, the current SCP structure is being changed. This will ensure that all of the partner agencies are fully involved in achieving the priorities and in ensuring the effectiveness of local arrangements to safeguard children.
I have enclosed the revised SCP structure, the SCP Manager Helen Willis will be contacting agencies shortly to provide further details of the groups and to agree representation, which will be at both operational manager level and strategic management level
Function
Membership
Members should be people with a lead role in relation to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children within their organisation. They should be able to speak for their organisation with authority

From Victoria Henley, Community Safety Officer, North East Lincolnshire Community Safety Partnership:
We are looking for volunteers to help to steward a Reclaim These Streets walk on Friday 25th November from 5.30pm – 8.00pm
We are planning a walk of 2 miles, starting and finishing at Grimsby Town Hall. We require high visibility stewards and 1st aiders to help assist to keep walkers safe whilst out on the walk.
The walk is to raise awareness about violence against women and girls but also to highlight that anyone can feel vulnerable on the street, any age, any gender so we are walking as a community to ‘reclaim’ them.
If you could be at the Town hall for 5.30/5.45pm for a short briefing and to help register those attending the walk, the walk will start at 6.30pm – finishing by 8pm. Parking is available at the Town Hall.
Once we have confirmed stewards we will be able to start advertising the walk itself.
Happy to answer any questions.
If you would like to volunteer then please reply to Victoria.henley@nelincs.gov.uk
