Vote for your favourite Staffordshire plate
 It's time to get voting in our Staffordshire Day 2025 competition!
Pupils from across the county have designed plates to celebrate Staffordshire Day on 1 May. Each design reflects what Staffordshire means to the pupils, and we need you to pick your top design from each area of the county.
The winning designs will be turned into real plated by Duchess 1888 in Stoke-on-Trent, manufacturers of fine bone china. They will then be displayed at locations across Staffordshire from May onwards.
The project, run by We Are Staffordshire, aims to inspire pride in the county.
Voting closes on 14 April at 12pm.

Book Easter holiday fun with Staffordshire’s HAF programme
 Our popular Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme is back this Easter!
From Monday 14 April to Friday 25 April, we're offering funded activities and healthy meals for eligible children and young people aged 5-16.
The programme is available to families who receive benefit-related free school meals. If you're eligible you will receive a unique HAF code by email or post, which you can use to book a place.
This Easter, children and young people can enjoy a wide range of fun activities, including sport, crafts dance, cooking, and much more. These sessions will be run by trusted local providers in a safe and supportive environment.
Helping young people find the right mental support
 Young people today face many challenges, and looking after mental health is more important than ever. But finding the right support can be difficult.
That's why we've created a new Young Person's Mental Health section within the Staffordshire Health App Finder. This free digital tool helps young people find trusted mental health support apps quickly and easily. Each app is expert-reviewed, so users can be confident they are safe and reliable.
The tool is also useful for parents, schools, youth workers, health professionals, and community groups who support young people.
 Spring is in full bloom, and there's plenty of events happening across Staffordshire this April.
