Overview
- The King visited Grimsby and Cleethorpes on June 11, touring Horizon Youth Zone, The CARE Hub and Blundell Park to meet staff, volunteers and dozens of residents.
- At Horizon Youth Zone he unveiled a plaque, saw the climbing wall, training kitchen and sports hall, and heard that membership has grown rapidly since it opened in February.
- At The CARE Hub he also unveiled a plaque and held a private meeting with service user Liam Atkinson, who credited the hub with helping him regain housing and stability.
- At Blundell Park he met the Our Future collective, accepted a personalised Grimsby Town FC shirt from the Mighty Mariner mascot and laughed off a light‑hearted protocol gaffe with staff.
- The King pledged operational follow‑up for local greening plans by offering to put organisers in touch with his head forester, a step that could help deliver thousands of new trees and support wider regeneration goals.
