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.

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.
