Final call for applications for the 2026 Stockport Business Awards Charity Partner

Charitable organisations in Stockport have until Friday 13th March to submit applications to be considered to be Charity Partner for the 2026 Stockport Business Awards.

The Charity Partner for the annual awards benefits from links and branding on the Stockport Business Awards website, PR coverage before and after the awards, promotion in the awards brochure, and the opportunity to form new relationships with local businesses in the area.

The chosen charity will also benefit from fundraising activities and proceeds from the awards ceremony, which, with the awards now in their twelfth year, are an iconic event within the Stockport business commmunity. Last year’s chosen charity, recently Moya Cole Hospice (previously St Ann’s) raised over £3,500 on the evening.

Rachel McMillan (pictured, addressing guests at the 2025 awards), CEO Moya Cole Hospice commented:

“It was wonderful to be a part of the Stockport Business Awards 2025 and to have Moya Cole Hospice as this year’s charity partner. It was a terrific evening celebrating the wonderful Stockport business community. I want to express my sincere gratitude for all the support and to those who helped raise an incredible £3,533 for our hospice! Congratulations to all the winners!”

Andrew Baggott of CN Chartered Accountants, the awards founders, organisers and headline sponsors, said:

“We are delighted to have supported so many amazing charities over the years and to see the benefits of the event’s fundraising. It’s a fantastic chance for charity organisations to raise their profile in Stockport, benefit from such a generous community and of course enjoy the evening’s awards.”

Charity application packs are available from CN Group Marketing Manager, Louise Lamaris, or through the Stockport Business Awards website. The deadline for applications to be submitted is Friday 13th March.

The awards’ Charity Partner for 2026 will be revealed at the 2026 Stockport Business Awards Launch Evening on 26th March at Stockroom. The free event will also give businesses an opportunity to learn more about entering, reveal this year’s categories and officially open entries for the 2026 awards.
