Totally Stockport Krazy Races

We are thrilled to be one of two headline charities at Totally Stockport’s Krazy Races national award-winning soapbox derby event which is returning to Stockport on Sunday 28th July 2024, from 10am to 5pm starting from St Peter’s Square.

Come and join thousands of spectators from across Stockport and beyond to cheer on the krazy, wacky and outrageous soapbox downhill racers. Launching themselves through Stockport in their carefully hand-crafted karts the racers will tackle a track of over 350m with chicanes, obstacles, water and more!

The Krazy Races team are looking for a maximum of 40 amateur teams who will be entertaining the crowds and competing to be the best dressed, have the best designed and the fastest soapbox karts powered by nothing more than krazy courage, wacky inspiration, gravity and a bit of luck!

Will Month

A number of local solicitors will be waiving their fees in return for a donation to St Ann’s Hospice as part of Will Month this March 2024. The recommended amounts are a lot lower than what you would usually pay for the same service!

Making a Will means you can make sure that all the people you care about are provided for and your wishes will be fulfilled. You gain peace of mind and knowledge that your wishes will be carried out, and you’re also supporting your local hospice to provide much-needed specialist care to people in our community.

It’s so simple to take part. Follow the link below to find out more and register your interest, and we’ll send you all the information you need.
