Charity of the Year

Stokes is committed to making a positive impact on society, our community, and the environment. We have a number on ongoing community partners and links, but each year, we focus our support on one main charity to maximise the difference we can make. For 2024, we are honoured to partner with Shine, a local Lincolnshire-based mental health charity dedicated to providing essential support and resources to those in need.

Shine connects people with the right support services and fosters a network of community resources for mental wellbeing. Through weekly contributions from our dance classes led by our MD to donations generously given by our customers online and on-site at our cafes, we actively contribute funds to fuel Shine's vital work.

To help us maintain our commitment and focus, we kindly ask that unsolicited charity requests are not sent. We receive a high volume of requests and are unable to respond to general enquiries via email. However, if you are a loyal customer with a specific recommendation for our Charity of the Year, please feel free to submit your suggestion through the designated link once we've started our search for our 2025 charity. Our 2025 charity selection will be announced in March 2025.

Thank you for supporting us as we work towards creating a positive, lasting impact in our community.
