Made Great in Grimsby welcome to New Bedford, USA, Exchange Youngsters
August 09, 2024
Made Great in Grimsby met up with young people from New Bedford USA as part of their exchange programme supported by Grimsby's OnSide, Horizon Youth Zone organisation, and in collaboration with Vineyard Wind and UMass Dartmouth, USA.
The visitor exchange was an opportunity to experience life in a coastal town, with cultural exchanges explored through a diverse range of activities. As a thank you for the hospitality during the USA leg and to make sure the young people of New Bedford remember their time in the UK, they were presented with 'Made in Great Grimsby' hoodies by Simon Dwyer, representing the seafood cluster across Grimsby and the Humber with over 70 processing businesses serving all the major UK retailers and majority of food service outlets in the UK with fresh and frozen seafood.
