Empowering Bolton’s Youth: A Community Partnership
Posted on:
In a heartening collaboration, Genuine Futures CIC has joined forces with Bolton Wanderers in the Community to uplift the youth of Bolton. This partnership is more than just a union of two organisations; it’s a shared commitment to providing young people with the skills they need to thrive in today’s competitive job market.
A Unique Initiative: Car Cleaning for a Cause
A highlight of this collaboration is a car-cleaning fundraising event at the Bolton Wanderers’ stadium. This event is designed to equip participants with essential skills like teamwork, responsibility, and customer service. Not only will it raise funds for future projects, but it will also give young people practical experience that can be pivotal in their career journeys.
A Vision Shared by Leaders
Ben Lawton Chief Executive of Bolton Wanderers in the Community, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “The two charities align perfectly, what we’re about and giving the opportunities to young people just to empower them to make their lives better. It’s a complete fit to what we do so it was an easy decision to go into partnership.”
Mike Alleyne added, “We are privileged to be working with you, and we look forward to the positive impact we can create together.”
A Community United
Sam Smith, a proud lifelong fan of Bolton Wanderers, shared his excitement: “Being a boyhood Bolton Wanderers fan, it’s a dream come true to work with the club. We are excited to be working together to empower young people and make a real difference in our community.”
A Call to Local Businesses
The partnership is not just about these two organisations. Genuine Futures CIC and Bolton Wanderers in the Community are inviting local businesses to join in their mission. By supporting the car cleaning event and other initiatives, businesses can contribute to a brighter future for Bolton’s youth while enhancing their sense of community and corporate responsibility.
Together, let’s support the next generation in Bolton and build a community where young people can flourish. For more information on participating, contact Genuine Futures and be part of this inspiring journey.
