Travelling together isn’t just about the places we go, it’s about the partnerships, the experiences we share and the memories we create. Bolton Cares Group have their footprint in Bolton, Salford and Wigan, and it’s growing.
Working with people in a way that recognises their strengths and acknowledges the expertise we all have as individuals, means that we truly provide support across a range of diverse situations and circumstances. Co-developing opportunities and striving for aspirations.
We thoroughly enjoy a good conversation and learning about what matters to people, whether that be a favourite meal, a chance to build relationships, a snappy outfit and dazzling around town, a place on a college course, a chill in the hydrotherapy pool or sharing views to contribute to big decisions in your environment. We want to soak it all up. By doing this we can have an equal relationship with everyone we meet, and make sure we deliver the best outcomes in everything we do.

‘Moving to my new flat has been life changing’ Pauline told us. ‘I never thought I would move house again, but when an opportunity in this great big brand-new Extra Care building came along, I was thrilled. I have lots of space, new furniture, I’ve got involved in quizzes and met great new people. I absolutely love it!
Life changing decisions
Following a break due to life changes, Keith got a taste for independent living. After lots of working with his team, he moved into his own home along with three other people. Keith told us that he started out feeling down with his circumstances, but life couldn’t have turned out better for him. ‘I am going to the cinemas, the pub and have started getting involved with gardening.’

A signed shirt and a message from his idol David Beckham made Steven’s birthday super special.
Tracey, Steven’s sister said “We were blown away, Steven was so happy and kept laughing whenever we mentioned David. The fact that such a major star took the time to record a video and sign a top for Steven is amazing.”
