So what is
One Stockport is a growing movement that celebrates and promotes the community response we have seen across the borough, born out of the Covid crisis.
Working in collaboration we can build a better future for everyone through supporting the local economy, connecting communities and promoting health and wellbeing.
To begin with we are focusing on three key aims in Stockport
Over the past weeks and months, the coronavirus has impacted on every one of our lives.
But as well as negativity, we have seen many positives:
We have a unique opportunity to harness our new-found sense of community and equality and become united as One Stockport.

“At the end of March I set up Hazel Grove Mutual Aid, just 3 weeks later we had over 90 volunteers. We have helped hundreds of people with companion calls, shopping, dog walking, prescription collection and delivery, furniture moving, welfare visits and much more to support our local community and are ready to organise community events so no one feels isolated and alone.”

“Stockport feels like a place where we are all in this together with one shared objective meeting community and individual need. We need to maintain the impetus of community groups and this sense of togetherness.”
