Do you manage or work with volunteers?

The Volunteer Managers Network gives people working with volunteers in and around Stoke-on-Trent an opportunity to share ideas, network, and provide mutual support.

You don’t have to be a β€˜Volunteer Manager’ to join our network. If your role includes working with and supporting volunteers within your organisation, whether paid or voluntary, this is the network for you!

Our next network is coming soon!

England's biggest FREE festival continues today at the Dudson Centre today and we invite you to come along.

Our Heritage Open Days exhibition "From Clay to Community: Discovering Everyday Histories" charts global events, local developments in -on-Trent and daily tasks for those on the factory floor.

Step into the everyday lives of the people who made Dudson, from the opening of the factory on Hope Street in 1810 to the thriving community hub we see today. Get the full experience by visiting our museum housed in the Grade 2 listed bottle oven and enjoy a cuppa or bite to eat in our friendly cafe. β˜•

And if you can't make today then tomorrow's free family fun day offers clay, craft, a Detective Dudson quiz and tea with Potteries author Arnold Bennett.πŸ«–
