The Wellspring Stockport

Today we've been celebrating British Cycling's Social Impact Day🚴

The initiative aims to spread the joy of cycling and highlight how it can be a powerful vehicle for social change by encouraging staff and riders to give back to causes and communities they care about.

We're incredibly grateful to the volunteers who chose to spend their day supporting The Wellspring💜

By giving their time and energy, they've helped make a real difference to the people who access our services.

This we’re celebrating the incredible, hard-working people who make The Wellspring what it is 💜

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything that happens here. They get stuck in with cooking, serving, sorting donations or just taking the time to sit and chat and no matter what they bring so much more than their time.

We’re so grateful for everything they do, thank you to every volunteer 💚

A HUGE well done to The Wellspring team for running the Great Manchester Run yesterday🌟

It was an incredibly inspiring day for runners and bystanders alike. We couldn't be prouder of everyone who laced up their trainers and represented The Wellspring so brilliantly.

Also, a massive thank you to Imagine Events for providing the flags and feather banners for the day. They were a fabulous edition and helped us proudly represent The Wellspring throughout the day💜

Bring on next year💪

We get through a lot of milk at The Wellspring each week, mainly through our breakfast service which is one of the busiest parts of the day.

As it’s , we’re asking if you could please help us out by donating some long-life milk 🥛

Whether it’s for a brew, cereal or just something warm to start the morning, it’s something we use every single day.
Milk can be dropped off at The Wellspring or sent straight to us via Give Today: https://givetoday.co.uk/thewellspring/

Thank you 💜💚

Good luck to all of The Wellspring runners taking on the Great Manchester Run to support The Wellspring today! 🏃‍♀️

Every penny raised helps us to continue delivering our work supporting people in Stockport experiencing homelessness.

Did you know that as well as two warm, nutritious meals a day, we also provide takeaway snack packs for our service users?

These will generally consist of sandwiches, crisps and biscuits.

This , could you support us by donating some individually wrapped biscuits for our snack packs? 🍪

You can donate online via GiveToday and have the biscuits sent directly to us (https://givetoday.co.uk/thewellspring/). Or you can drop some off at The Wellspring, Harvey Street, Stockport, SK11YD!

We are open 8am - 4pm Monday to Friday and 8am - 2pm Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays. Thank you! 💜💚

Today is and it’s a good reminder that something as normal as managing your period isn’t easy for everyone.

When someone is experiencing homelessness, things like having a shower, access to toiletries or even a bit of privacy can be really hard to come by.

At The Wellspring, we try to make that bit easier by offering showers, clean clothes and the basics people need to look after themselves.

We’re actually okay for sanitary products at the moment (thank you so much to everyone who’s donated 💜), but we are running low on everyday toiletries like shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, razors and shaving foam.

If you’re doing a shop this week and can grab an extra item, it would be really appreciated! Items can also be ordered online via GiveToday: https://givetoday.co.uk/thewellspring/

A big thank you to the team over at Imagine Events for coming down to volunteer with us on Tuesday!

We love having teams down to show them the work we do. We’re so grateful for your time, energy, and generosity💜

It’s not always easy to explain what The Wellspring means to people, but sometimes a few words say it better than anything else…

“The Wellspring is a safe space, full of compassion and empathy. I enjoy coming here to see friends.”

“Feels like I am part of a family.”

“I love this place both as a user and a volunteer; it gives a place to belong, feel welcomed and give back to others in similar situations.”

It’s your support that has allowed us to create these outcomes for 35 years. And you could help us continue this for the next 35 by kindly making a donation https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/celebrating35years 💚

A huge thank you to Whitebottom Farm at Etherow Park who kindly donated leftover fresh vegetables, along with around 200 rolls and baps, following their Fields to Fork Festival 🥕🥔🥖💜

Those donations will help us put together roughly four days’ worth of snack packs, which make a big difference to the people who access our services.

We’re also really pleased to hear they’d like to do the same again next year 👏

Support like this means good food doesn’t go to waste and helps us continue supporting people across Stockport at the same time, so thank you so much to everyone involved 💚
