About Us
Stone Community Hub is a registered charity that exists to relieve those in need – by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship, or other disadvantage – living in Stone (Staffordshire) and surrounding areas. By providing advice, assistance, and activities to help improve the quality of life of residents we hope to alleviate the impacts of:
- Adverse economic circumstances – advice centre, job club, family law clinic, food bank
- Social isolation – drop-in centre, people to talk to, crafting & refreshments.
You can find us on Facebook and on our website at www.stonecommunityhub.com
In 2023 the Trustees, Manager and staff implemented a strategy to increase the number of services that we offer and reach more residents of Stone and surrounding areas, at the same time moving accommodation to a larger space in the Frank Jordan Centre. Following a successful year in our new surroundings, an exciting vacancy has now arisen for a Hub Manager to continue to drive our ‘making lives better’ strategy.
