Hi everybody,

Greetings from The Signpost Centre at Highfields.
We are a local community cafe and advice centre based at Auden Way.

Our website is HERE

Our facebook page is HERE

A little blurb from our website:

Signposts (Stafford) Ltd is a group of three local community projects, Highfields, Stone and Barlaston, that provide services, support and encouragement to residents in the local area.
The goal of each Signpost Centre is to make it a hub, so that the local community has easy access to housing, financial, employment and family services as well as initiatives and schemes.
The Signpost Centres are also there to encourage individuals to help themselves and improve their circumstances, whether that is through organised courses and groups or simply introducing the individual to the right person with the right advice.
The most important part of each centre is that we provide face-to-face support for individuals in the community. This support is based on what each individual needs. It could be company, a cup of tea, access to the internet or even just a friendly face.
The services, support and encouragement provided at each centre are flexible. At Signposts we want to be accommodating in what we provide so that we can help as many people in our communities as possible.

All our services are FREE, we rely on donations to run the centre, please feel free to use our LocalGiving page here: LOCALGIVING

Hi;

Would just like to introduce myself, I work for a national builders merchant and i found the forum when I was looking for some info on the proposed new builds on Radford Bank for work puposes. So far have found out that this forum is a great place for all local info just a shame that its taken me so long to find it!!
