Stockport Charity Work — Examples
Stockport Church — Community Hall Lease Negotiated
A Stockport church needed to take a new lease on a community hall to expand their outreach work. Paul D'Ambrogio negotiated favourable terms, ensured the lease was structured appropriately for a charity tenant, and guided the trustees through the Charity Commission requirements — delivering a smooth transaction within the church's timeline.

Stockport Charity — Renters' Rights Act Readiness Review
A Stockport-based supported housing charity instructed Jane Clutton to assess their exposure to the Renters' Rights Act 2026 changes. Jane reviewed their tenancy portfolio, identified the high-risk arrangements and delivered a prioritised action plan — exactly what the trustees needed to make informed decisions before the May 2026 deadline.

Stockport Faith Organisation — Employment Documentation Suite
A growing Stockport faith-based organisation needed employment contracts and a staff handbook as they took on their first paid employees. Ana Pestana produced a clear, proportionate documentation suite that reflected the organisation's values and gave the trustees confidence in their employment arrangements.
