Community Ethos
The unique campaigns, events and awards ceremonies which are organised by The Sentinel's journalists are aimed at fostering community spirit and championing its circulation area of North Staffordshire and South Cheshire.

All manner of local celebrities support The Sentinel's community events - including, among others, TV personalities Nick Hancock, Anthea Turner and Wendy-Turner Webster, stage star Jonathan Wilkes, Potteries entertainer Pete Conway, Potteries football icons Robbie Earle, Mark Bright, John Rudge and Lou Macari, World Cup-winning England goalkeeper Gordon Banks, Olympic hockey gold-medallist Imran Sherwani and former England test batsman Kim Barnett.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or ethos:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“Take the serious side of Disney, the Confucian side of Disney. It’s in having taken an ethos ... where you have the values of courage and tenderness asserted in a way that everybody can understand. You have got an absolute genius there. You have got a greater correlation of nature than you have had since the time of Alexander the Great.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
