I have never known communities coming together like this and people are beginning to understand how vital their actions are and the impact they can have on local groups, shops and organisations. It feels like there is really a desire for this to continue post the pandemic.

Nicola Wallace-Dean Starting Point and Woodley Mutual Aid Group

Forward as We know that the times ahead may be challenging but we can address these together.Our way of life may change but we have an opportunity to learn from our experiences, to adapt and change for the better.

By looking out for neighbours, friends, families and colleagues we can protect the most vulnerable.

By listening to our children and young people we can shape the future.

We have used the experiences of the past few months to craft the beginnings of a campaign that we believe will build on the sense of community, where we have seen strangers helping and caring for each other.

We have walked and cycled more, we have experienced cleaner air and enjoyed a new more flexible way of working. This has helped to shape our initial vision, mission and values for One Stockport but it is just the start. The One Stockport message will evolve. We want to use input and engagement to mould the future of One Stockport. We want you to help us to design One Stockport.

We have a unique opportunity to capture the moment and build on the sense of community.

You can be part of the plan for Stockport that enables us to build back better.

We must all capture the momentum and build on the positive experiences we’ve had during the crisis, to not just slip back into the ‘old normal’ but to come together to build back better.

We have the opportunity to take an ambitious leap together, to develop new and exciting collaborations and ways of working.

Together we can respond to Covid–19 and build a strong future from our collective ambition.

You can play your part - from supporting local businesses to volunteering in our communities. We came together through the crisis, now we have a chance to stay together in the future. Now you can be part of One Stockport.
