Social Value

At Bolton Green Umbrella, social value means creating lasting benefits for people, communities, and the environment. Our projects don’t just protect green spaces, they help people feel connected, confident, and proud of where they live.

How We Create Social Value

Community Wellbeing
Volunteering reduces isolation, builds friendships, and supports positive mental health.

Skills & Confidence
People of all ages gain new skills, from outdoor conservation, growing your own, improving the area you live in, gardening to project planning, while growing their confidence.

Environmental Benefits
Cleaner, greener spaces and thriving habitats for wildlife make Bolton healthier and more resilient.

Economic Value
Volunteer‑led projects save money for councils and bring investment into local communities.

Inclusivity & Accessibility
We make volunteering welcoming for everyone, older adults, newcomers, and diverse groups across Bolton.

Measuring Our Impact
We use grant feedback forms, volunteer hours, and project outcomes to measure social value clearly and transparently.

Get Involved
