Externally Funded Programmes

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

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.
