Inspirational 13-year-old ENL UTC student Eve, who is the head chorister at Grimsby Minster dedicates her spare time to helping local people in need.
Eve Woods, from Searby near Caistor, gives up many hours of her free time to volunteer for the We Are One Food Poverty Alliance, a food bank which operates from St Andrews’ Church on Albion Street in Grimsby. She also spends most weekends volunteering for a soup kitchen which was set up for those who are vulnerable and/or homeless.
On top of this, Eve raised £650 in just six days for the We Are One Foundation by riding 50 miles on her bike – and managed to raise a further £200 for The Poppy Appeal. Eve also bakes cakes, biscuits and crumbles for elderly people in the village she lives – and leaves baked goods on people’s doorsteps as random acts of kindness.
Last Easter, Eve also managed to collect 400 Easter eggs to give to people in need. Despite her own challenges with dyslexia, Eve is so passionate about helping those more vulnerable than herself – so much so that she has just won a prestigious award. Incredibly, Eve has won The Nottingham’s Innovative Young People of 2021 competition, which sought to find young people who have demonstrated “inspiring ways to further their education or boost career aspirations”.

(Monday 13th September) According to the Parliamentary Tours Office, Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire became the first school in the UK to visit Parliament since it reopened for tours.
11 Students from Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire, accompanied by 3 teaching staff left Scunthorpe at 5:30 am today to make their 9 am tour in London via train.
The group were personally greeted by Holly Mumby-Croft, MP for Scunthorpe, who joined them for a comprehensive guided tour on the history and workings of the Houses of Parliament, led by the Parliamentary Tours Office.
During the tour, the group visited key locations in Parliament including St Stephens Hall, the Central Lobby, the House of Commons Chamber, the House of Lords Chamber, and the Royal Gallery. Following the tour, the students enjoyed a group discussion with Holly Mumby-Croft MP about her work in Parliament.
Speaking after the tour, Anesta McCullagh, Head of Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire said:
“We’re very excited to be the first school to visit Parliament since it reopened for visits. At Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire we aim to give our students the opportunity to develop their interests.”
“It’s such a great opportunity for our students and we’d like to thank Holly Mumby-Croft for this opportunity, and for being a supporter of our work at Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire.” 
Commenting on the visit, Holly Mumby-Croft MP said:
“I’m delighted that one of our fantastic local schools was the very first to visit the reopened parliament. I was chuffed and proud to welcome our talented young people from North Lincs.”
The MP also revealed that this was, in fact, her first time participating in a guided tour in Parliament:
“Growing up in North Lincolnshire I never actually had the opportunity to visit Parliament until I was elected. It means so much to me that I’m able to facilitate this visit, and I’d love for more of our young people to have this opportunity in the future.”
Speaking after the tour, Kelsey, a year 11 Engineering student said:
“The tour today was very interesting, we were able to learn about what happens behind the scenes and how new laws come into place. It’s great that we were able to hear from our tour guide firsthand, and it’s a great experience to be the first school to receive a tour in Parliament.”
The group went on to visit different locations in London, including St James Park, Buckingham Palace and the Natural History Museum.
Residents interested in a tour in Parliament can book a free “Democratic Access Tour” and should visit the UK Parliament Website for more information.
A new year brings the UTC new students and with new students, ENL UTC will see new and exciting opportunities! This year tutor groups at ENL UTC have been split into 3 groups named after 3 of their core partners. ENL UTC’s core partners are made up by Phillips 66, ABP, Care Plus Group, University of Hull, Orsted and last but not least, Tronox.
Tronox was the first of 3 tutor groups to meet with the core partner that inspired their new group. Students from ENL UTC’s near year 9 cohort met with Mark Setterfield and Becky Kirvan-Rodgers and had opportunity to attend a Q&A as well as demonstrate some of the new skills they are acquiring which could one day help them on their way to a career with one of the core partners.
The questions and answers session saw students discuss everything surrounding Tronox including what it’s like to work there, what kind of pathway they can take into employment with them (including what pensions look like!) and not only what has inspired Tronox in the past but what their long-term goals are too! Mark Setterfield was able to explain all about his career with Tronox across the UK and Europe looking after their Learning & Development whilst Becky Kirvan-Rodgers gave the students a real insight into what the Tronox brand means and what they stand for as a company.
Mark, Becky and the students then headed down to the official Tronox workshop situated within ENL UTC where they were able to show Mark and Becky what they have been learning in their first few days studying here. The Tronox room is fully kitted out with work benches, lathes, pillar drills and much more whilst being appropriately decorated for its newly acquired title of the Tronox Workshop. Looking around the room Tronox branding can be seen throughout with informative posters, displays, the Tronox green walls and their logo proudly sitting on the workshop door.
Principal Anesta McCullagh said;
“Tronox have been a core partner with ENL UTC for many years and throughout that time they have offered valuable time and experience to the students. ENL UTC offers a rich employer-led curriculum which needs input from partners across the region to provide real world insight for the students on their journey throughout their academic studies to sustainable careers. ENL UTC is immensely excited to be able to finally launch the Tronox Workshop and looks forward to many more years of working together and building relationships.”

ENL UTC welcomed Care Plus Group CEO Jane Miller to officially open their Health Sciences & Social Care suite ahead of the brand-new specialism launching this September. Jane Miller visited alongside Sharon Stead to tour the campus, officially open the rooms with ribbon cuttings and to visit the lorry load of care items Care Plus Group kindly donated to help our future healthcare heroes start their journey into the world of health and social.
Care Plus Group is an organisation working in communities across North East Lincolnshire. They are a social business that provides a wide range of adult health and social care services to people across our community. Care Plus Group is a Community Benefit Society – any profit they make they reinvest back into the development and delivery of health and care services.
Jane Miller, Chief Executive of Care Plus Group said:
“I am delighted that as a Core Industry Partner, Care Plus Group can support the UTC to implement their Health, Social Care and Science curriculum and support young people to enable them to access a career in health and social care. Our Employability Services Team works closely with the UTC on employability initiatives and supporting skills gaps to ensure the students are given the opportunity to enter the workplace with the right skills. This is a fantastic development for young people and very much needed for the health and care sector.
Care Plus Group kindly offered for ENL UTC to visit and label a wide range of different surplus equipment they had from use in care homes, to be delivered by lorry to the UTC which has formed 2 care suites and a doctor’s surgery on the top floor of the school.
Jane Miller said: “Care Plus Group was able to donate items of unused equipment to enable the UTC to develop a simulated care suite and doctor’s surgery to support students learning in a practical environment. The items we donated were surplus to our requirements when we moved one of our services to a new base last year and we’re pleased they are being used to benefit students who will become the future health and social care workforce.”
The new specialism has been put in place to provide the same kind of hands-on STEM education for health sciences and social care that the UTC currently offers for Engineering, providing pathways for young people aged 13-18 in North Lincolnshire. With the Coronavirus pandemic highlighting the importance of STEM-related skills (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) in all their forms over the last year, we continue to play a vital role in building the local STEM skills capabilities that the country needs now and for our future workforce.
Principal of ENL UTC, Anesta McCullagh said: “We are so proud to have Care Plus Group on board as our sixth core partner. I am looking forward to expanding our unique STEM offer alongside Care Plus Group that will help our young people develop the sought-after skills, confidence and qualifications that will put them miles in front of others when it comes to applying for future apprenticeships, jobs and university places.
“The support and equipment that Care Plus Group have kindly given us will help to deliver the same high standard in our brand-new health sciences & social care pathway that we currently deliver with our engineering. It was great to have Sharon and Jane attend the UTC and see first-hand the difference their donations have made. We look forward to continuing the great working relationship we have.”
Applications are still open to join ENL UTC’s new specialism in September and can be found at www.enlutc.co.uk/apply or by calling 01724 878100.
