Our Supporters
Thank you to the Stockport EDR Flexible Grant
We are delighted to have received support from the Stockport Economic Development and Regeneration Flexible Grant (EDRFG) for our new community wellbeing programme.
This funding will enable us to deliver welcoming sessions across Stockport, combining gentle mindful walks, nature-based creativity, photography and opportunities to care for local spaces through optional litter picking.
The grant will support indoor creative sessions and outdoor activities, alongside creative materials, journals, refreshments and equipment. Participants will also have opportunities to share their photography and creative work through community exhibitions using reusable display boards.
The programme will provide calm, inclusive ways for people to connect with others, enjoy their surroundings, build confidence and support their wellbeing.
A heartfelt thank you to Stockport Council and the EDR Flexible Grant for investing in our work and helping us create more opportunities for local people to participate, connect and feel part of their community 💚

We are incredibly grateful to have received support from The National Lottery Community Fund towards our Capture & Calm Walks: Women’s Wellbeing & Connection programme.
This funding is helping us deliver a 12 month wellbeing programme across Stockport and Greater Manchester, including gentle wellbeing walks, women only creative wellbeing sessions, mindful litter picks, outreach activities and peer support opportunities. The funding also supports resources, volunteer development, accessibility support and equipment to help make sessions welcoming and inclusive for all women.
A heartfelt thank you to National Lottery players for making this possible. Your support is helping women feel less isolated, build confidence, connect with others and find gentle moments of calm within their local community. 💚
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Forever Manchester for their generous support of Capture & Calm Walks CIC.
Their funding has helped us take our online wellbeing community and bring it into real, in-person spaces, creating opportunities for women to connect, walk, reflect and build friendships face-to-face.
What began as an online space of encouragement and shared creativity has now grown into regular outdoor wellbeing walks and indoor sessions, providing safe, welcoming environments for women to pause, breathe and feel part of something supportive.
Forever Manchester’s support has enabled:
• Training and safeguarding development
• Essential reusable equipment for safe delivery
• The growth of a sustainable, community-led model
• Confidence-building opportunities for women attending
Because of this funding, we have been able to strengthen connections, reduce isolation and create spaces where women feel welcomed from the moment they arrive.
We are incredibly grateful for the trust placed in us and for investing in grassroots wellbeing in Stockport.
Thank you for helping us turn connection into community.
With thanks to the Greater Manchester Live Well Spring Festival for their support, helping us deliver a calm and creative community wellbeing activity during the 2026 festival.
Thank You to Locala Community Fund
We are really grateful to the Locala Community Fund for their support of Capture & Calm Walks CIC through a small grant.

These sessions are designed to be calm, welcoming and low-pressure, with a focus on helping people feel more connected to nature, themselves and others.
Support like this truly makes a difference. It helps us keep sessions free or low-cost and ensures that more people can access a moment of calm, connection and support when they need it.
We really appreciate Locala’s commitment to community wellbeing and the positive impact they are helping to make.
