'Celebrating Stanley 2025' - Heritage Project Film
A celebration of Stanley’s heritage, voices, and community. Over nine months, this project brought generations together to preserve local history and honour the town’s past, present, and future.
“Engaging with a cross representation of the community has highlighted so many often unknown elements of Stanley and this project has created a platform for them to be shared and enjoyed by others, fuelling a wider sense of civic pride.”
- - Victoria Keen, Karbon Homes
“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with the Stanley schools and community on the Celebrating Stanley project. We have all discovered and shared new and exciting stories about the town. I have personal links to Stanley, so this has been a particularly emotional and engaging experience for me, too. There is still a strong community spirit in the town and this is something that must be encouraged and developed.”
- Christine Thomas CEO Building Self-Belief CIO
Aspirations and Future Planning / December 1st, 2020
Future Planning
Future planning is essential. We always encourage young people to have a goal. Passing an exam is not enough. Why do they need the qualification? What are they going to do with it? If they do not do as well as expected, what is their plan?

What is ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ (CSR)?
Corporate social responsibility (CSR), sometimes known as ‘corporate conscience’ or ‘corporate citizenship’, is about companies playing a responsible role in the wider community. Haines Watts have developed some brilliant ways for them to enhance and develop their CRS and we are very lucky to be their nominated charity.
