Hyper-Local Support Network

A network for welcoming spaces, community hubs, and other organisations supporting communities at a hyper-local level in Stoke-on-Trent. This networking session will give you the opportunity to connect with other groups across the city working to support their neighbourhoods. Share knowledge and resources, speak with the VAST team and other service providers, and catch up over a brew. As the weather gets colder and the days get darker, demand for community sector support rises across the city. In this session, we will discuss preparing for winter, and how we can support our communities through the added challenges of the season. Winter is also a time of hope and celebration, as organisations host festive events, and we see Stoke-on-Trent’s community spirit and generosity shine. We would love to hear about your winter plans – so please bring with you any information about your Christmas or other holiday celebrations, or any upcoming winter projects. Learn about what is happening across the city, what support is available, and how you can get involved. If you know of any other hyper-local groups with big plans for the holiday season, please invite them to come along, share their plans, and join the conversation!
