Lets keep Bolton moving
International Day of Older Persons, "The Part We Play", reminds us how much older adults contribute to our communities. Their wisdom, experience, and resilience are invaluable. Here in Bolton, the Mayor and our Age Well partnership hosted a special lunch for celebrating the contribution and acknowledging their dedication. It's a great way to show appreciation! Let's all find ways to celebrate the older people in our lives. A simple "thank you" can go a long way.
Walk of Hope
Join the Walk of Hope from September 10 to October 10, culminating on World Mental Health Day. This is a month-long event where we encourage everyone to walk in support of mental health. Whether you walk alone or with others, every step you take matters. Share your journey using #WalkOfHope and #BoltonWalkOfHope to help raise awareness.
