Staffordshire County Council receives £4,389,474 to run the Chesterton's Vision project in Greater Chesterton, Newcastle-Under-Lyme, supported by partners including Staffordshire Council for Voluntary Youth Services (SCVYS) and Connexions Ltd.

Activities will include basketball, football, art, after school clubs, topical debates, exercise classes and vocational training.
