Celebrating all of the amazing women in our lives! 💛 #InternationalWomensDay

We opened the doors of Vale Park today, to offer Christmas lunch to those in our community facing a challenging time this festive season. Staff and volunteers were on hand to help, while the First-Team players trained ahead of our Boxing Day fixture. 🤍 #PVFC

LIMITED SPACES LEFT! 27TH DECEMBER, 31ST JANUARY '25 and 1ST, 2ND & 3RD FEBRUARY '25 CREATE WITH CLAY - Disability Learning Sessions Time: 10.30am to 2.30pm Tickets - FREE Thanks to funding from our partners, Museum Development Midlands, Art Fund and Arts Council England we are able to offer free creative learning sessions for people with special educational needs and/or disabilities. These sessions will be smaller than our public sessions, giving you a chance to be creative in a calmer and less crowded environment, making it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Each ticket allows participation in the session. This includes a portion of clay, so everyone can get involved and create together.

A productive week of partnerships, our CEO @prof_sue_read chaired the Ageing Well Partnership meeting. Thanks all who participated. Sue also joined the GenerationAll Steering Group in Chester. Thanks all for a wonderful day. #agefriendly #intergenerational #partnershipworking

An insightful, rewarding project to be involved with alongside @KeeleUniversity @BethJohn64 and St John’s PrimarySchool. Looking at the part, pets play in all stages of life and the impact they have. The film covers the three days the project took place over earlier this year. 🐶

Our blog with film by @community_cast Pets, Companionship and Ageing, an exciting #intergenerational project with St. John's CEA Primary School and Keele University. With pets from Rent a Beast and Knightley Alpaca Trekking 👏 bjf.org.uk/pets-companionshi…

In Our Time: A Retrospective by Phil Hardaker @KeeleUniversity @ArtsKeele Thank you @PhilipHardaker1 for sharing your fascinating, reflections and insights into your life work: places, pottery and people. we are proud to be friends, collaborators and part of your community 👏

Great privilege tonight to listen to @PhilipHardaker1 talk about his art and career @KeeleUniversity. The radicalism, the moral commitment to ecology and sustainability, the playfulness were all there. Produced art for his friend #KirstyMacColl, and designed sets for the @poguesofficial, too

A great turnout for Tea & Tech today, thanks to our #volunteers and to @KeeleUniversity students for providing much needed #digitalsupport An important reminder, tea and chats are just as important as tech support ☕️😁 tackling #socialisolation and the #digitaldivide together!

I had a wonderful time in Stoke-On-Trent today, which is truly one of the kindest places in the UK. We posed the question, “If it takes a village to raise a child, what does it take to foster a more nurturing village atmosphere in the 87 neighbourhoods of Stoke-on-Trent?” there is so much inspiring community development work happening already. And a growing commitment to do even more place-based community building.

it's official — 1,000,000 people have joined Bluesky in just the last day!!! welcome 🥳 bsky.app/download
