🚐 The Smart Symptoms Roadshow is bringing FREE health checks and wellbeing support to your local area.

You will find us here 👇️

Early detection saves lives. Many serious conditions start with silent symptoms, including:
✔ Hypertension (high blood pressure)
✔ Heart health issues
✔ Early indicators linked to cancer risks
✔ Weight‑related conditions such as diabetes
✔ Smoking‑related health problems

A quick NHS Health Check can help you understand your risks and take positive steps sooner.

This roadshow also supports CORE20PLUS5 communities, helping to reduce health inequalities by making preventative checks easier and more accessible for everyone.

Come along and say hello 👋

Support Staffordshire has raised concerns with Staffordshire County Council about the reported decision relating to Pride activity in council libraries.

Libraries matter because they are open, trusted spaces at the heart of local communities. They help people find information, feel connected and access support, often at moments when that support really matters.

Support Staffordshire exists to support voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations across the county, to champion strong communities and to make sure people’s voices are heard. That is why we have asked the council to clarify what has happened and how the needs of residents and the role of community groups have been considered.

We are approaching this constructively and will continue to engage directly with the council.

We also recognise that this issue may have caused concern for LGBT+ residents, staff, volunteers and organisations across Staffordshire. Voluntary, community or social enterprise organisation affected by this matter, or looking for guidance on how to support their community, are invited to contact Support Staffordshire through their usual local support contact or via our main enquiry channels.

Our focus remains on listening to communities, supporting the voluntary sector and helping Staffordshire to be a place where everyone feels welcome, respected and able to take part.
