About The Project

Imagine Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent, not just surviving, but flourishing. Homes brimming with renewable energy, safe streets pulsing with vibrant local economies, and communities woven together by common goals. Sounds pretty great, right? But how do we get there?

Well, the answer isn’t a one-size-fits-all, every person, street, town and community is different. Instead it’s a tapestry, carefully crafted with threads of economic strength, environmental balance, and social justice. Each strand interwoven, strengthening the whole.

But where do we start weaving? That’s where a brave band of organisations and communities comes in, ready to lend their needles and thread. They’re saying: “Let’s listen to the voices of our communities, understand local needs, and then, hand-in-hand, build a framework for change.”

This isn’t a top-down decree; it’s a collaborative ecosystem, where local wisdom guides the steps. Communities and organisations will be empowered to become architects of their own sustainable future, with support and resources at every turn. Welcome to the Staffordshire & Stoke-On-Trent COP project.
