Rugeley Rose Theatre has received funding from Cannock Chase Council through Rugeley Town Council’s allocation of UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) from the Thriving Communities and Centre Project, to help to improve their offer and attract more footfall.

The funding has been used to purchase a coffee machine, cocktail machine and pizza oven to improve the facilities at the Rugeley Rose Theatre.

Cannock Chase Council is working in partnership with Staffordshire County Council to deliver a package of support for businesses within District until 31 March 2025.

The project’s objective is to deliver a programme of business support which is a simple “one-stop shop” for start-ups and existing businesses alike, focussing on the business needs identified by Cannock Chase Council.

Young Enterprise (YE) have been successful in winning the contract for delivering the Raising Aspirations for Young People Programme in Cannock Chase District.

The programme aims to support young people in the District’s High Schools to raise their aspirations and to make informed decisions about subject choices and their future careers.
