Winter Cost of Living Toolkit
This VCSE communications toolkit has been developed by VAST and the Stoke-on-Trent Food Partnership to compliment Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s ‘Help is at Hand’ campaign, supporting residents through the cost-of-living crisis this winter.
The focus of this toolkit is content that voluntary sector organisations can share on social media that brings attention to support and services organisations like yours deliver within the VCSE sector for all members of society. This includes support for harder to reach communities like those who aren’t necessarily able to access means-tested support.
This toolkit also includes information on where residents can find free and/or affordable food across Stoke-on-Trent over the winter period, Foodbank details, locations where low cost or free meals and warm welcoming spaces are available and to highlight where donations of food, clothes and other items can be made. We have also included information around re-giving of gifts to help during the Christmas period and how access to low cost or free school uniforms for those in need.
