Free resources to support Bolton’s social enterprises

Bolton Community and Voluntary Services (Bolton CVS) has created these resources to help businesses with a social purpose.

The initiative aims to inspire new companies and help existing companies grow.

Resources include easy-to-understand videos and PDF explanations of the help available for social enterprises in Bolton, as well as guides on creating a brand’s vision, mission and values, social accounting, governance and legal structures.

Bolton CVS also runs a calendar of free training and events at The Bolton Hub, along with regular drop-in support sessions.

They also run ‘Proper Good’, a program that provides additional enterprise development and social investment support for Bolton’s social enterprises.

Lisa Forrest, program coordinator at Bolton CVS, said: “We are inspiring Bolton, one social enterprise at a time.

“With our new selection of free resources, we’re here to help more incredible local businesses thrive so they can make a real difference in our city.”
