What we do.

Connecting people, sharing skills and backing our community.

01

Speakers in Schools.

Stokies back in the classroom

Our Speakers in Schools programme is a collaboration between local schools and the Made in Stoke Community. Designed to broaden horizons and raise aspirations, the initiative connects students with real-world professionals through engaging presentations, authentic personal stories, and interactive Q&A sessions.
