Today, we proudly joined forces with Epic Housing, Brighter Futures, and Honeycomb Group for the debut screening of our short film, 100 Years of Social Housing🎬

The film explores how social housing began, why it was created, and how it continues to transform lives across Stoke-on-Trent today.

Working in partnership, we launched the film at the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, alongside an exclusive Q&A panel featuring Cllr Robinson, CEOs Tracey, Maxine and Julie, Historian Fred Hughes, Housing and Regeneration Expert, Dave Proudlove and Reels in Motion's Creative Director, Phil.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and to all of our partners who make this vital work possible. Our shared commitment ensures that we not only reflect on the past 100 years but look ahead to the next 100...together🤝

🎥 So without further ado, here’s the film: https://orlo.uk/uMhcH

We are advising people to stay vigilant following a recent scam where financial fraudsters pretend to be calling from solicitors.

Recently, we have received a number of reports where people have received calls from scammers claiming to be from a local solicitor – telling those on the phone that they can recoup their losses for a price.

We would like to remind people that bank officials or the police will never ring you and ask you to move your money, nor will solicitors ring you claiming to be able to get your money back.

If you believe you have been targeted by a scammer, hang up the phone and use a different phone line to call Action Fraud or the police. If you don’t have access to another phone line, we’d advise waiting for a short period of time before calling a family member or friend to ensure the scammer is no longer on the phone.

Always question suspicious phone calls and report them to Action Fraud or the police.

If you think you or someone you know has been defrauded, you can report it to Action Fraud online or by calling 0300 123 2040.
