Each year Cannock Chase Council recognises the achievements of young people within the District by awarding the Youth Endeavour Award.  This award provides an opportunity to recognise and reward some of the positive achievements and contributions that are made by our young people.  

This year's award was presented to Jack Gilbert from Kingsmead School, who was nominated by Miss Hinton, Year 10 Progress Leader at Kingsmead School.

A Cannock based food business trading as Mr Kay’s, and its Director Mr Raja Kamran Hussain have been ordered to pay £34,603 in fines and costs following a successful prosecution by Cannock Chase Council.

A new programme called Cannock Chase Discovery has been launched to help residents access tailored support to improve their general and life skills leading to better employment opportunities. The programme offers a range of interventions across four broad categories: work, skills, health, and life. It is being delivered by Jobs 22 on behalf of Cannock Chase Council and funded by the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

The programme began on 1 May 2024 and will run until 31 March 2025.

The Cannock Chase Heritage Trail has been brought to life using animation and audio with the launch of two new digital trails - Chase Tales and Hear Our Heritage.
