Working with Gary at Our Happiness Factor we're building the Stockport Endowment Fund to create a long-term, sustainable source of funding that supports community power, inclusive local economic development, and grassroots solutions—now and for generations to come.

Inspired by the Cleveland Model, our goal is to anchor wealth locally by investing in community-owned assets, social enterprises, and neighbourhood-based initiatives that create good jobs, build resilience, and keep decision-making close to home.

This fund isn’t about charity—it’s about justice, fairness, and ensuring Stockport communities have the resources and influence they need to thrive.
