New Year, New Stoke

February 28, 2025

Made In Stoke Team

Dear fellow Stokies,

We’re kicking off 2024 with a special message from none other than Anthea Turner, proudly wearing her Made in Stoke T-shirt!
‍

Anthea, known for bringing communities together (anyone remember the iconic Blue Peter days?), is encouraging everyone to join the Made in Stoke movement this year.

Whether it’s wearing your Stoke pride or getting involved in local initiatives, there’s a way for everyone to make a difference.

Start the year by celebrating where you’re from and supporting our city’s future.

Thank you, Anthea, for reminding us what it means to be #MadeInStoke. Watch her video and let us know, how will you make 2024 the year of Stoke?

Happy New Year and big love to all the Stokies around the world.

‍

Big love,

The Made in Stoke team ❤️
