Bolton Community and Voluntary Service (Bolton CVS) works alongside Bolton’s Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector supporting them to do what they exist to do, as well as they possibly can.
In Bolton, there are 1,762 VCSE organisations and we are proud to have over 600 of these wonderful organisations as members. From The Bolton Hub, we support VCSEs to secure funding, find volunteers, grow, reach more people, work together and have a collective, influential voice that makes real changes for the lives of people in our community.
We want the same thing as you: a thriving Bolton community where our staff, customers, friends and families are supported. We would like to hear from businesses and organisations who want to work together. We are a member of the Bolton Family Social Value Partnership who are keen to create more social activity in Bolton by linking you with relevant partners and can help with those links to VCSE organisations.
Your organisation plays a vital role in Bolton contributing to social good. We have an array of amazing opportunities for partnering with the VCSE sector through your social value contributions:
