In what has become one of the most anticipated dates in the pub groups calendar, Saturday 13th July saw 400 guests join the Almond family for their 10th One Small Step Pub Walk.
The Stockport pub company has four pubs in the area which are each visited along the scenic 10 mile walk. Starting at the Fletchers Arms in Denton, stopping off at the Spread Eagle, Puss in Boots and finishing the day with a celebration party at the Jolly Sailor in Davenport with a bouncy castle, raffle and much more.
As well as being a fun filled day the event’s main purpose is to raise money for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research UK (FPWR UK), a charity close to the family’s hearts due to company director Vicki Williams’ daughter being diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) at just 2 weeks old. Bella, now 11, joined the droves for the second half of the walk and was delighted to be joined by six other friends from the PWS community.
Prader-Willi Syndrome is rare, with only 1 in 20,000 children being born with it in the UK every year, meaning events such as these are so important as they raise awareness of the syndrome, help build communities and of course raise money for research to help improve the lives of those living with it.
Vicki Williams said, “Over the 10 years we’ve been holding this event, it’s grown and grown. We had record numbers this year and we were pleased to see many new walkers as well as some who have joined us on every event.
“Our fundraising from Saturday currently stands at £14,500, which is just incredible! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event what it is.”
The £14,000 raised this weekend brings total fundraising in Bella’s name for the charity to £167,000.

As the weather gets warmer, sometimes you don’t feel like a hearty pub classic. You want the pub atmosphere, glasses clinking & friendly chatter- but you’re in the mood for something lighter. Well, we have a ‘Nibbles’ menu for just this occasion!
Choose from a selection of our starters & pizzas to snack on while you sit outside and enjoy the glorious sunshine (or in our bar area because of the typical English weather!)
Our ‘Nibbles’ menu boasts a delightful selection of starters, sides, & pizzas – perfect for satisfying those after-work cravings or fueling a fun get-together with friends. Dishes such as oven-baked camembert, giant pigs in blanket & artisan pizzas – all designed for easy sharing (or, hey, no judgement if you devour them solo!).
So next time you’re craving a relaxed pub experience without the full meal commitment, come & visit your favourite Almond Family Pub, grab a seat, catch up with some friends, & indulge in the delicious world of nibbles!
As a pocket-friendly bonus… We’re offering 3 small plates for £20 on our starters so you can create your own pub tapas* This is the perfect opportunity to mix & match & try new things.
* Available in our garden & bar areas, Monday – Saturday, Excludes our camembert sharer.
Every year, Marie Eaton (our Finance Manager) takes on a new challenge to raise well-needed funds and awareness for the Foundation of Prader-Willi Research UK (FPWR UK). The charity is one that is close to our hearts as it provides funds for research into Prader-Willi Syndrome, which our director, Vicki William’s daughter was diagnosed with at 2 weeks old.
This year was no different.
On the 27th April, Marie gathered over 30 team members and friends of Almond Family Pubs and triumphed over the Born Survivor’s mud-fuelled, assault course. This wasn’t just a regular mud-run, we’re talking about a gruelling (but oh-so-rewarding) 10k obstacle course designed by Royal Marine commandos, featuring mud, sweat, and probably a few tears.
So far, the team has raised an amazing £2,875, up and over their original goal!
This money is vital for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research UK, so that they can continue with research projects that will eliminate the challenges that PWS presents.
Marie is a regular fundraiser for FPWR UK and we are so grateful for her commitment and fundraising… We wonder what she will do next year?
We are delighted to be organising our 10th annual charity walk for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research UK this July. So far with our combined efforts we have raised a staggering £148,976 and we would love to continue to see this figure grow. The research the FPWR UK finances is imperative to making the lives of those affected by Prader-Willi Syndrome more manageable.
Not only is this a wonderful day for our pubs and the local community but it’s a great chance to catch up with friends (whilst getting your steps in!) and to raise money for this important charity that is so close to our hearts.
This year’s event is on Saturday 13th July and will follow the same route as last year.
We will be starting slightly earlier this year so we can start celebrating a little earlier at the Jolly Sailor. Registration will open at 9.30am at the Fletchers Arms, ready to set off at 10.30am.
The day will include a pub pit stop at the Spread Eagle, lunch at the Puss in Boots, and finishing with a celebration party at the Jolly Sailor.
There will be a raffle, DJ, bouncy castle & more…
We really hope to see some familiar faces there again, as well as many new walkers. We would love you to invite friends and family and help us make the 10th event even more memorable!
