About Us
SK8 Scoop is a weekly local newsletter for Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Gatley, Heald Green and the useful bits nearby.
The idea is simple: help local people quickly find the best things happening around SK8 without having to scroll through twenty Facebook groups, three council pages, a roadworks notice, an events website and someone’s angry comment thread about parking.
Each week, SK8 Scoop brings together useful local updates in one easy email, including events, family-friendly things to do, free and cheap activities, roadworks, local notices, community news, food bits, jobs, lost pets, small businesses and the occasional piece of property nosiness.
This is not meant to be a serious newspaper with a tie on. It is a practical local round-up for people who live here, shop here, drive through here, take children places here, walk the dog here, or just like knowing what is going on nearby.
What you’ll get
Every issue is designed to be quick to scan and genuinely useful.
You can expect:
- Local events worth knowing about
- Free and cheap things to do
- Family-friendly picks
- Roadworks and travel warnings before they ruin your plans

- Local business mentions
- Jobs and volunteering opportunities
- Lost pet and community notices

Why sign up?
Because local information is scattered everywhere.
SK8 Scoop saves you time by pulling the best bits into one friendly weekly email. You can skim it in a few minutes, spot something useful, and get on with your day feeling slightly more organised than usual.
It is especially useful for families, parents, retirees, local shoppers, community groups, small businesses and anyone who likes knowing what is happening around SK8 before everyone else starts talking about it.
Help make it better
SK8 Scoop works best when local people send things in.
Got an event, photo, recommendation, lost pet, local job, small business, school holiday activity, planning concern, food tip, old local memory or mild complaint about traffic?
Send it over.
The more people contribute, the more useful the newsletter becomes.
