Ché Finch was instrumental in keeping Stockport Art Gallery & War Memorial open following proposals made by Stockport Council to close the gallery during the week, Stockport Council furthered this proposal by withdrawal of the permanent collection and removal of the gallery curator. Consequently Ché Finch co-founded Stockport Art Gallery Project and the Selection Panel, and personally organised and established the exhibitions programme between May 2013 and May 2015 increasing footfall to the gallery by over 50%.
