Programmes & Partnerships

We’re constantly striving to bring additional investment into our neighbourhoods. Officers work with multiply partner agencies to identify and attract external funding.

Last year we secured £400,000 of external funding which has enabled the team and the communities they work with to deliver hundreds of projects and activities.

In addition we support the following funding streams in Bolton:

 

Big Local

A million pound investment in Tonge with The Haulgh. The Big Local is a resident-led program, investing in Tonge with The Haulgh to make it an even better place to live.

For more information contact: Yvonne Seal, Big Local Community Development Officer by emailing: yvonne.seal@boltonathome.org.uk

 

Ambition for Ageing

From 2018 to 2020 our Community Investment Team was a Local Delivery Lead for the Greater Manchester Social Eating, Working Potential and Culture Champions programmes.

 

Foundation for the Future 

The Foundation for the Future partnership offers volunteering opportunities abroad with the chance to work alongside established charities FAST Romania or Otalom (Heated Streets) in Hungary and ZNI in Slovenia. The partnership forms part of our drive to help boost the CVs and employability of local people whilst investing in our communities.

We develop and sustain major partnerships for the benefit of our communities, including:
