    John Ross MBE Community Fund

    The David Ross Foundation established the John Ross MBE Community Fund in June 2011 in memory of David’s father, John Ross, High Steward of North East Lincolnshire.

    John Ross was passionate about Grimsby and its local community. The fund’s objective is to help foster community cohesion; develop a culture of mutual volunteering between differing age groups and communities; reinforce a sense of community with projects run ‘by the community for the community’ and to alleviate hardship in the most deprived urban areas.

    The community fund aims to support local organisations and charities with grants ranging from £250 to £1,000.
