Stockport Rocks! 2025

Celebrating people who give back

Following on from the incredible response to the first Stockport Rocks! Volunteer Awards Celebration, we are back for 2025 with our second event.

Stockport Rocks! is about rewarding and celebrating our invaluable volunteer workforce. Without them, our, over 1,700, local charities, community groups and social enterprises would not be able to run the vital community services that keep our communities healthy, happy and safe.

So we think they more than deserve a knees up celebration!

We are once again working with Stockport Council, Stockport County Community Trust and Marketing Stockport to deliver a worthy celebration event for 400 guests at Edgeley Park.

Help us to celebrate over 200 volunteers at Stockport Rocks! 2025
