one voice (immingham district)
Immingham
ONE VOICE IS A VOLUNTARY COMMUNITY GROUP WHICH WAS FORMED IN 2009 AND HAS
CONTINUED TO THRIVE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE
COMMUNITIES OF IMMINGHAM, HABROUGH AND STALLINGBOROUGH. One Voice continues to
support the community of Immingham Habrough and Stallingborough and continues to
reflect on the most effective way to do this. When the group was formed in 2009
until 2019 it ran with a committee structure is built around what residents felt
was needed to ensure the community as a whole was represented, Key partners sat
on the committee with a number of representatives who have an area of focus
within the community. However in 2019 the formal structure of a constituted
group was dissolved and the group became a steering group for the Charity One
Voice Immingham District who were gifted all the assets and agreed to continue
the projects that were being done under the group. This decision was made
following specialist advice and support which concluded that this was the most
effective way for One Voice to continue their work. OUR ROLE Obtain and maintain
