By volunteering with Bolton Cares, you will bring value and connection to people’s lives and support them in realising their aspirations and potential.

Our commitment to empowering thriving people is a key pillar of our mission. We want to ensure that everyone we support is living the life they want and our volunteers are an invaluable resource in helping us achieve this.

They strengthen and build on our core hours of support and bring a wide variety of interests, talents and experiences to ensure we provide a personalised approach that considers all aspects of a person’s individuality and aspirations.

We also want to ensure that our volunteers’ lives are enriched by spending time with the people we support across Bolton, Wigan and Salford.

How we support our volunteers

To support our volunteers to thrive in their roles, we offer:

• An overview to our organisation and an in-depth service induction.
• A volunteer agreement, outlining everything you need to know to volunteer with us.
• A clear lead contact and regular check-ins.
• Out-of-pocket expenses including vehicle mileage or public transport costs.
• Appropriate guidance and / or training for your role.
• Quarterly meet ups with other volunteers to exchange experiences and form friendships.
