We invite you to meet our new locality teams | News

Looking to connect with your local community and find valuable support? Join us at one of four events happening over 10, 11, 12 and 13 July, and meet our new locality teams.

Covering the north, east, south central and south west areas of Bolton, our locality teams are part of our service for community engagement and made up of colleagues in a range of community focused roles. They’re passionate about working with individuals, community groups and organisational partners to bring about positive change. Read on for more details about the activities and support on offer.

At these events, you can:

• Stay in the know: get up-to-date information about what’s happening in your area and discover local activities and groups you can join.
• Get cost of living support: learn about the range of assistance we can provide and get information and advice specific for your needs (we also have an online hub dedicated to supporting you with rising living costs, here: www.boltonathome.org.uk/cost-of-living)
• Find out about our future plans: how we’re working differently to bring you quality services and ensure your voice is heard.
• Share any issues you’re experiencing at home or in your community: our teams will do what they can to provide the support you might need.
• Have food and fun: enjoy a visit from Lofty the Lion as well as the ‘ice green van’, and there’ll be food and refreshments, plus face painting and more to keep the kids entertained.
