Broadstone Mill Shopping Outlet awarded Reddish Locality Grant

The Broadstone Mill Shopping Outlet has been awarded the Reddish Locality Grant from the council to ‘get Reddish Roaring’ after the pandemic.

Just before Christmas 2021 Broadstone Mill Shopping Outlet learned that Stockport Council was looking to help support businesses recovering from the pandemic in areas of the borough. 

“The last few years have been really tough for everyone, whatever their age or social status.  The charities, the community groups and the business owners big and small, the impact on our communities has been huge!” said Claire Vincent, Marketing Manager at Broadstone Mill Shopping Outlet.

Prior to the pandemic the management team at the mill wanted the mill to not only be the glorious landmark that the large red brick mill with it’s copper dome is on the Reddish skyline but also wanted to give back something to the local community that it has stood in and operated in for so many years.

So, the bid to Stockport Council was submitted and subsequently was won!

The team at Broadstone Mill Shop have partnered successfully with the team at the Heaton’s Post who already have a proven and successful track record of delivering similar events in the Heaton’s and are growing their network and connections in Reddish too.  Both teams working together are in the process of planning and delivering many projects in 2022 that will help support the business community as well as the community of residents in Reddish.
