Do you fancy trying out something completely different, and think you might benefit from spending some time in the supportive, nurturing, peaceful environment of our hidden gem - The Roost at Bright Meadows?

The Roost is a fledgling edible forest garden (and community forest school space), led by multi-award winning social enterprise, Little Bats Learning. We're tucked away amongst the houses in Breightmet, and really are a bit of a secret garden.

On site, you will find a spacious polytunnel with a growing indoor garden, and cosy sofas for chats and support. Outside, we have a beautiful tipi for gatherings, complete with seating circle. There's a secure shed, in which we will be developing a small workshop space. We have a mini woodland, which is our forest school space for our local children of all ages.

We offer adults who would like to help us grow the space many opportunities for physical activities (gardening, conservation, and woodland management/habitat development tasks); practical - making, crafting, cooking. Take some mindful moments, try a bit of 'rakey'; potter amongst the plants, take time for tea and chat; craft, cook and make things; nurture our lovely bit of nature, and nurture yourself too.

This session is for all adults over 18.

Experience not needed, as our sessions are supported by our trained (and experienced team).

You just need to be keen to learn, be able to listen to instructions (to keep you and others safe), and willing to try new things.

Also, as it's an outdoor site, we can get muddy, and wet. We can loan waterproofs/boots to those who don't have them.

If you think that Bolton Cardiac Support Group might be of help to you, then why not come along and join us. You have nothing to lose but perhaps a lot to gain. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month with tea, coffee and biscuits prior to the meeting. The intention is to provide support after the patient leaves hospital and to continue this through the recovery period. Patients are encouraged to join the Support Group so that they can receive ongoing advice and guidance leading to a greater understanding, increased confidence and a fuller life. The welcome also extends to their carers, spouse, family member or friend. Each month we have an expert who speaks for a brief period on his/her specialism and then answers any questions members may have. Speakers vary from medical doctors, physiotherapists, pharmacists and dieticians to social speakers addressing such topics as welfare rights, insurance, etc. Some of our members feel that being involved with the Support Group has been the biggest single step to psychological recovery. Just turn up at the Egerton United Reform Church, Blackburn Road, Bolton BL7 9TB on any of the meeting dates, rest assured you will receive a very warm welcome. To contact us for more information please email contact@boltoncardiacsupportgroup.com or go to our website and complete the contact us section and someone will be in touch. There is a £1 per person contribution when you attend a meeting. This helps towards the running costs of the voluntary group. If you feel you would like to attend on a regular basis then there is an annual registration fee of £10 per year. This cost covers the patient as well as their Carer/Spouse/Partner or Friend.

What we are all about

It’s always been a bit of a joke about men. That even if they are lost they won’t stop and ask for Directions. As funny as the joke may be there is a serious side to it.

Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 40. Why is that? Because men don’t ask for help when they need it.

They suffer in silence. They feel like they should be able to cope with anything and that feeling stressed/depressed or anxious is a sign of weakness.

We want this to end. We want men to feel able to ask for help but not only that we want them to know where to go to get help when they need it. We want to provide a place for men to turn and ask for help. We want to support men who are :-

Suffering from anxiety/depression or just not feeling themselves
Victims of domestic abuse
Suffering from Physical/sexual/emotional abuse
Feeling isolated
Problems with housing, debt, employment, relationships, drug or alcohol use
Or just feeling a bit lost with no sense of purpose

Directions For Men provides groups and activities where men can meet other men talk about issues affecting them and receive support, a listening ear and some guidance.

We will be meeting weekly from the 26th of April 2024 at Farnworth Library :-)

We understand that starting something new may be a big challenge but don't worry, we are friendly and we can meet you before the session begins. Its all about making you feel comfortable and enjoy what we're about.

Buddying Service

Someone can be available to offer you more support during an actual session (enquire with the provider to see what's available).

Hope for Mental Health is a 26 session rolling programme for men and women above the age of 18. This is not therapy - it is simply a discussion group about mental health, using a tool called the Hope Circle. We are a faith based group and use the Bible to seek wisdom in improving our mental health. However, this group is absolutely open to everyone regardless of your own faith or beliefs. We only ask that you respect each individual in the group.

We meet at 7:30pm on a Thursday evening (brews available from 7:15pm). We start with the Lord's Prayer and a couple of worship songs. We then might watch a video real life story before going out into the breakout room.

There is no pressure to talk or say anything. We start with a list of words in front of each person and we choose two words e.g. 'Anxious' and 'tired'. If we are able, we share how we are feeling using those two words with the rest of the group. We then have the opportunity to share a high and a low from the week just gone.

Once everyone has had an opportunity to share, we look at the lesson and each person can follow along in their journal. Sometimes, we do practical or art based activites, creating boxes of hope. Sometimes we might do a mindfulness exercise focusing on our breathing.

This is a safe space for everyone to inhabit. There is no expectation for anyone to share unless they want to. Every couple of months, we try to have either a social night (e.g. a walk around Jumbles or a trip over to Wetherspoons for a meal) or have somebody come and visit us to share their own story.

Note: Our 12 step Celebrate Recovery group - for ANY hurts, habits and hang-ups, is still meeting, but this is now hosted on a Wednesday at 1pm over in Breightmet (see Lee for details).

Let us know you're coming so we can look out for you.

We are an open access drop-in group for lovers of all things nature, whether new to gardening or with a lifetime of green fingers. The group has no membership requirements beyond a degree of enthusiasm for gardening and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.

Our garden is a place of beauty, peace creativity and joy. Here we have raised beds where we grow fruit, veg and flowers. The “secret garden” is an oasis of calm. All around there are beautiful scented flowers and herbs, fruit bushes and trees. Individual members can “adopt” a raised bed to grow vegetables and flowers. The ethos of the group is to grow and share.

Ju-Jitsu originated from the battlefields of Japan between the 14^th and 16^th century, when the Samurai would find themselves disarmed.

Using grappling techniques, students of Ju Jitsu are taught to use their opponent’s energy against them in the form of pins, joint locks and throws. In this way, it is not considered to be a violent sport, but rather, is based on values of respect, trust and confidence.

Our talented team of instructors have taught thousands of children in hundreds of schools and venues across the North West for over 25 years. Our mission is to encourage our students, whatever their age or ability, to gain confidence, empowering them to push themselves further than they ever imagined. Using fun and teamwork to engage students, giving them the physical skills and mental toughness to take on any challenge they set themselves. All of our instructors are fully insured, have an enhanced DBS check and are trained in Ofsted compliant paediatric first aid. They are also trained in the safeguarding of children and adults.

The club was formed in 1980. The current playing surface is a MastergreenTM carpet installed by Dales Sports Surfaces in October 2013. It is World Bowls Association approved and complies with WBA standards.

The Mastergreen surface allows play to take place all year, weather permitting, and offers bowling for everyone, from easy going social to very competitive. We have 80+ playing members ranging from National Champions and County players to newer members who have taken up the game in the last few years.

Our year is divided into a Summer Season, (April to September), and a Winter Season, (October to March).

SUMMER.
There are weekly leagues: Singles on Wednesday, and Pairs on Thursday morning. Progressive knockout competitions in various formats take place through the season. Fixed Day competitions, also in various formats, (Singles, Pairs, Triples), are held throughout the season. They are at weekends and sometimes Bank Holidays. Social Bowling takes place on Monday Evening (18.15 for an 18.30 start), Thursday afternoons, (13.15 for a 13.30 start, and those Saturday afternoons when the green is not used for Club or County events, (13.15 for a 13.30 start).. Some weekday afternoons members will arrive for a friendly roll up or a practice.

WINTER

Social Bowling also takes place on the above days, although the Monday session switches to the afternoon. There is also a Winter Pairs League on Wednesdays.

We also operate a Play Bowls/Keep Active scheme where potential members can join in five sessions free of charge before they decide if they would like to join the club. Current Full Playing Membership is £130

Visitors are welcome at social bowling sessions, subject to payment of a green fee.
All players must wear flat green bowling shoes and there are some available for use at the club. We also have available a selection of bowls.

The aim of meditation is to bring inner peace within ourselves and the world in a positive and spiritual way. The world is not a peaceful place and within every soul, there is some form of stress or stress and tension. It is essential to create positive and peaceful thoughts to bring peace of mind. The best way to begin the healing process is to alter our thoughts from being negative to positive. The positive discovery about meditation is that we are focusing on our self and becoming free of negativity.

This is done through the performance of poses or postures, each of which has specific physical benefits. The poses can be done quickly in succession, creating heat in the body through movement (vinyasa-style yoga) or more slowly to increase stamina and perfect the alignment of the pose. The poses are a constant, but the approach to them varies depending on the yoga tradition in which the teacher has trained.

Ju-Jitsu originated from the battlefields of Japan between the 14^th and 16^th century, when the Samurai would find themselves disarmed.

Using grappling techniques, students of Ju Jitsu are taught to use their opponent’s energy against them in the form of pins, joint locks and throws. In this way, it is not considered to be a violent sport, but rather, is based on values of respect, trust and confidence.

Our talented team of instructors have taught thousands of children in hundreds of schools and venues across the North West for over 25 years.
