Staffordshire Connects

Staffordshire Connects is an umbrella site for adults and communities, children and families, special educational needs and disabilities and care leavers. It is managed by Staffordshire County Council.

We want you and those who you care for to stay independent, safe and well for as long as possible, and Staffordshire Connects can help you to do just that.

Use Staffordshire Connects as an information resource and easy to use directory to browse and search for details about hundreds of different services, organisations, local activities, events, clubs and community groups taking place across the county.

It’s easier than ever to find what you need and the best thing is that it is all in one place.

Staffordshire Connects is compatible with smart phones and tablets, so you can find information when you are on the move.

If you provide a service or belong to an organisation or group, you can register for a free account and start sharing details of what you offer on Staffordshire Connects for all to see.

Help us back by spreading the word about Staffordshire Connects and what it has to offer. Email us on staffordshire.connects@staffordshire.gov.uk for details.

If you would like share what you think about Staffordshire Connects, please contact us. We are always looking for ways to improve the site and your views are really important to us.
