Smile Group
Supporting family mental health

Smile Group believes no-one should face this alone and supports over 300 families across Cheshire East who are finding the transition into parenthood tough. Supporting this initiative sends a strong message to your teams that mental health matters.

Repurposing everyday walks for charity
trundl turns everyday walks into donations without the fundraising. Companies, walkers, and charities unite in one simple app. Reaching distance goals unlocks donations and our award-winning CO₂ tracker tracks the savings made when you walk rather than drive.
To date, trundl has donated over £28,000 to 7+ UK charities, a sum generated by businesses and individual members taking over 90,000 individual walks, covering more than 290,000 kms.
This is the power of many walking for charity.
Now we want to step up our collective impact in East Cheshire.
