Today, we had a fantastic time visiting VAST Staffordshire with representatives from DCMS. We got to experience their Poems, Pies, and Pals event, part of the Know Your Neighbourhood project. Such a heart warming day filled with delicious pies, inspiring poetry, and micro-volunteering opportunities.
