Stockport Rocks 2026 – Celebrating people who give back

Nominations for the Stockport Rocks volunteer awards open on Monday 2 February giving us the chance to celebrate our local heroes.

Stockport Rocks, which is organised by Stockport Volunteer Hub and Sector 3 is about rewarding and celebrating our invaluable volunteer workforce. There are around 57,000 volunteers in Stockport! Without them our local charities, community groups and social enterprises in would not be able to run the vital community services that enable local residents to Live Well.

Stockport Rocks! is delivered in partnership with Stockport Council, Stockport County Community Trust, Marketing Stockport, Kao Data and a whole host of incredible sponsors to deliver a worthy celebration event for 400 guests.

Do you know someone who deserves some recognition? Nominations open Monday 2 February. Nominate your volunteer hero here.

Take a look at last year’s winners.
