WOW!

We wanted to say a huge thank you to the Stockport Business Awards and all the wonderful local business who attended on the night because you helped us raise £6214💚

We're so grateful for every donation no matter how big all small, every penny we raise goes right back to supporting unpaid young and adult carers across Stockport.

THANK YOU💜💚💜

Just for Signpost 💜

At the start of October we were lucky enough to be granted a private tour of the iconic Bramall Hall. A group of our carers and two staff members experienced the special chance learn all about this historic building from the people who know it best.

We're very excited to have been given the opportunity to run this event once more and you can now book using the link below. 👇👇👇

Some feedback we received from the last tour was,

"The tour guide was extremely informative and went to great lengths in explaining the history of the house, it’s architectural features and it’s various occupants over the last 600 years."

This event booked up extremely quickly last time so we advise you book your tickets as soon as you can if you're interested.

💜💚💜

Did you know we offer affordable, low-cost counselling for unpaid carers? Our specialist service is designed for you and your needs as a carer.

Our BACP-registered counsellors provide a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about things like:

• Stress, anxiety or burnout
• Feelings of isolation or loneliness
• Guilt, loss or changes in identity
• Relationship challenges
• Balancing caring with work, family and personal needs

We offer 6, 50 minute sessions that can take place either online or at the Heatons Centre. For each session we suggest a donation of £25 which helps us keep our counselling service sustainable however if this would be a barrier to you let us know - no one is excluded from accessing the service.

To get started fill out the self referral form you can find by clicking the link in our bio!

This week is Challenge Poverty Week!

Challenge Poverty Week is a chance to shine a light on the realities of poverty, challenge misconceptions, and promote positive change.

At Signpost for Carers, we recognise the additional pressures that many unpaid carers face and support efforts to build stronger, fairer communities for everyone.

Challenge Poverty Week is focused on raising awareness, sharing experiences, and encouraging action to address poverty.

Do you want the chance to do some exercise, explore nature and chat with people who understand your situation?

Well our Walk to Fitness groups might be perfect for you! Join some of our wonderful Signpost volunteers (and sometimes the odd staff member). As we get out and about all over Stockport.

These photos come from our Reddish Vale group where we offer two different routes depending on what you fancy doing that day. You can find out more about this location and our other Walk to Fitness locations on our website.

Have you ever seen a member of team Signpost out and about? We try to do as much outreach in the community as we can to make sure we reach as many unpaid carers as possible.

All our staff are friendly and ready to talk about anything you may need. So if you ever spot purple and green, come over and say hello.

It's time for the LAST nature ramble of the year and this one is a fungi special!

Join Signpost's very own fungal punk Dave on his final walk of the 2026. Taking place at Woodbank Park right in the centre of Stockport, Dave will take time to discover what delights are present right under our noses.

“Come for a wander in the woods and have a look for the mysterious fungi with such potential delights as:- Oyster Fungi, Bleeding Bonnets, Crampballs, Waxy Crusts, Fragrant Funnels, Dead Moll’s Fingers, Deceivers; Oak Bug Milkcaps and many more. Great for the soul, the senses and a sense of well-being” – Dave
