02 Activities

What the charity does

We are a small charity focused on the needs of Edgeley, Stockport; particularly those who are isolated or excluded, through lack of money, skills, health or access to technology. We offer support through simple, practical means: simply listening, helping people access relevant services or develop basic skills, involving them socially and through volunteering, or offering emergency support.
