Local Groups
We seek out groups and like-minded individuals to form a network that promotes our aim of making Bolton a cleaner and greener town for all its residents. We work together to restore pride in our town, and take responsibility for our own back yard.
We currently list 83 groups across all areas of Bolton, details of which you can see on this page.
Please do have a look at the details of the groups, and don't hesitate in contacting them - they'd love to hear from you and are a really friendly bunch.
