Partners.

"Stoke-on-Trent City Council is proud to be a partner and supporter of Made in Stoke. The power of harnessing the energy and opportunity of a wide network of individuals and organisations that care about our city should not be underestimated. We have many challenges, as well as opportunities for people to help address them in the way that fits best with their values, and we are committed to supporting Made in Stoke to build on its successes so far and work together to make a difference."

“Backing Made in Stoke is all about turning potential into progress - together. Their work powerfully reflects The Rigby Foundation’s mission to invest in people and place, opening doors for communities and creating opportunities for young people who’ve faced disadvantage. It helps young people see what’s possible and equips them to shape a brighter future - not just for themselves, but for Stoke-on-Trent as a whole.”

"Made in Stoke is exactly the kind of initiative we believe in – rooted in place, driven by people, and focused on long-term change. When you bring together partners who care deeply about Stoke-on-Trent, you create something far greater than the sum of its towns.

Having built a business in the region and with a football club at the heart of its community, we know first-hand the difference that genuine local investment can make, which is why we are so pleased to be part of this. We're proud to support work that is strengthening communities and building a more confident future for our city and our region."

“Made in Stoke shows what happens when deep rooted local involvement is matched by long‑term commitment and local leadership. Working together we can unlock generosity towards the local area and create the conditions for lasting change. It is exactly the kind of place‑based impact communities like Stoke‑on‑Trent deserve, and puts empowerment back into the hands of local people.”

“The achievements since Made in Stoke was founded have been seen by the Government as a model of good practice and a number of other UK cities have copied it. Yet again, Stoke is the pioneer.”
