NeeNaw Day is Back!

Join us at Grimsby North Police Station from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, 8 August to learn all about emergency services with hands on opportunities with police vehicles, fire engines and interactive demonstrations.

Sergeant Lorraine Paterson said: “Nee Naw Day is a chance for families to come together and enjoy a free, fun-packed day but it’s also about giving children and teenagers a closer look at the people and vehicles behind the uniform.

"It’s a brilliant opportunity to spark curiosity and help understand how emergency services work to keep our communities safe.

We’re proud to celebrate this day with the people we serve.”

Year 6 had an amazing workshop with Lab Rascals - focusing on wind turbines. Everyone had lots of fun, learnt lots of new things and we were very impressed by the questions that they asked!
