The North Lincolnshire Integrated Hub at The Forge Project brings together The Forge Project, North Lincolnshire Council Housing, the Recovery and Rehabilitation Team, and a range of partner agencies to provide coordinated, person‑centred support for people experiencing homelessness. By combining expertise across sectors, the Hub creates a seamless pathway of care so individuals receive the right support at the right time. We proudly use surplus food donated through Neighbourly to prepare fresh, nutritious meals for the people who use our Day Centre. This partnership helps us reduce waste, stretch resources further, and ensure everyone is welcomed with a hot, wholesome meal made with care. Open seven days a week, the Day Centre offers a warm welcome, hot food, and a safe space to talk. Staff provide befriending, guidance, advocacy, and referrals, while on‑site clinics from housing, mental health, substance use, and community services make it easy for people to access specialist help quickly, comfortably, and without charge. Everyone who attends the Day Centre is met with dignity, compassion, and practical support. We work closely with partners including North Lincolnshire Housing, With You, mental health services, Blue Door, Scunthorpe & District MIND, and the Community Inclusion Nursing Team, who hold regular clinics on site. The Day Centre provides meals, showering and laundry facilities, clean clothing and sleeping bags, emotional support, advocacy, and help to secure permanent housing, alongside coordinated multi‑agency care. Using a strengths‑based approach, staff support each person to understand their challenges, identify their goals, and shape their own path forward. Our strapline, Opportunity for Change, reflects our belief that everyone deserves the chance to rebuild their life. The Hub’s integrated model reduces duplication, streamlines support, and improves outcomes by promoting recovery, enabling access to housing, education, training, and employment, supporting independent living, and encouraging participation in community activities. The environment is designed to be safe, welcoming, and accessible, with shared spaces, private rooms, drop‑in access, and appointment‑based support. An integrated Counsellor provides one‑to‑one mental health support, group interventions, and help with managing low mood, anxiety, and confidence. To promote wellbeing and social connection, free weekly afternoon activities include board games, arts and crafts, games, and gardening, offering structure, enjoyment, and opportunities for personal growth in a relaxed, supportive setting.

Inspiring Family Solutions is a Family Support team based in Scunthorpe and supports and works in the Scunthorpe area. The project supports families with children aged 0 - 11 years and individuals by providing a combination of interventions delivered by family support workers and trained volunteers with the aim of improving parenting skills, preventing statutory intervention and achieving better outcomes for families. We deliver support to families and individuals where there are issues with poor parenting, physical and mental health, alcohol and substance misuse, learning and physical disabilities, domestic violence, family dysfunction and breakdown and other problems which without support have the potential to escalate to levels that put people at risk and would need a higher level of intervention including Social Services involvement. We aim to support individuals to increase their resilience as they are able to lead a stronger and positive personal life. We try to identify the issues, allowing us to make a plan to support them to overcome or manage the issues and develop new skills to help improve their overall personal development. We are deeply passionate about the families and family members we support in the local community and have high aspirations for their potential and the ability to achieve. We feel we could deliver a real transformational impact within one of North Lincolnshire’s most deprived communities. Some of our participants who attend have come from desperate places including suicide attempts and difficult backgrounds.
