The Rock Foundation, a Grimsby-based charity, has been confronted with challenges due to a power outage that lasted two days last month. Undeterred by this obstacle, the foundation’s CEO and founder, Pam Hodge, remains determined to continue the charity’s significant work. This organisation, instrumental in assisting struggling families, is currently receiving help from a local electrician as it contends with a lingering dispute over a bill amounting to £27,500. This predicament underscores the significance of community backing during difficult times and acts as an emphatic reminder of the interdependence within our local area. As we, the residents of Lincolnshire, aim to support our neighbours in Grimsby, many are reminded of the paramount role charities play across our county.
