Two coordinators facilitate the service, one from the GP Federation and one from Age UK Bolton. The coordinators visit the service user and their carer at home prior to admission to learn more about the individual and their family. This enables them to be supported in their journey through respite and back home. During respite in Wilfred Geere the person receives a medical assessment by a GP, medication review and is cared for in a specialist environment designed for those living with dementia. They can engage with many activities supported by staff and volunteers including crafts, musical performance, holistic therapy and chair-based exercise. After discharge, supported by the service coordinators, they can be linked in with voluntary services and social care to provide meaningful activity and much needed carer support at home. The service has shown to be popular with service users and carers, and is increasing their ability to manage at home longer term. __________________________________________________________ Extended access to a GP Evening appointments Bolton GP Federation provides evening appointments on behalf of GP practices across Bolton.

Laurent - Then Bolton Carers Support “Time for You” Sitting Service Time For You may well be of help to you. Project Worker How does the service work? ‘Time for You’ sitting service is a new service which, with the help of volunteers, provides practical and emotional help for carers in Bolton; enabling carers to have a break from their caring role. You may choose to spend time alone at home, attend an appointment, take up an activity or meet with friends or family. The choice and time are yours. The scheme offers companionship and support to you or the person you care for. It is a great way to reduce isolation and loneliness. As well as giving you time to take a break, the person you care for can benefit from spending time with another individual. We will also seek to ensure that you are offered an up to date Carer’s Assessment to look at all your caring needs. How do I access the service? You could be referred by a healthcare professional or you can contact Bolton Carers Support to register and refer yourself - 01204 363056. When is the service available? The service is available regularly or occasionally, for anything from one to three hours, between 9am in the morning and 5 pm in the afternoon during the week. It may be once a week or once a fortnight. How soon will I receive support? We will contact you soon after your referral has been made to arrange a home visit. We will come to discuss the service and your expectations. Then as we recruit more volunteers you will be matched with a suitable person. 9 Volunteering at Bolton Carers Support The Bolton Volunteer Charter is a pledge to uphold good practice around volunteer management and development presented by Bolton CVS.

  • School Bus Services in Bolton September 2019 to July 2020
    7 School Bus Services in Bolton September 2019 to July 2020 Journeys in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Although provided primarily for school students, members of the public may use these services with the exception of Yellow School Buses. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare and also offer daily return tickets. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.40. These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares.

Health care learners will spend their careers caring for people from all sectors of society. In order to deliver the highest quality care, it is important for them to understand principles of equality, diversity and inclusion in the real world. The Human Library supports this aim by promoting social inclusion through respectful conversation. It provides an opportunity for learners to get a better understanding of how an individual’s culture, social identity and expressed beliefs will impact on the decisions they make about their care and treatment. This is a key component in developing the ‘patient as partner’ approach that will improve both patient experience and outcomes.

Dawn Grundy, Paula Elliott and Amanda Stevens explain how a cross-sector partnership in Bol- ton is changing the way healthcare information is accessed.

  • A Brief History of Bolton Art Circle
    A Brief History of Bolton Art Circle Forward Artists have always played an important part in drawing attention to the different aspects of the world we live in. Bolton has been fortunate in the number of people with such a talent. This History chronicles over half a century of promoting art in Bolton and outlines the achievements, heartaches and various characters involved with Bolton Art Circle. Since the founding just after the Second World War, almost every Boltonian involved with visual arts has at some time been a member. However, just as our appreciation of art changes with time, so has Bolton Art Circle developed into a movement that opens its doors to everyone who has either a sporadic or longer-term practical interest in art. By staging an exciting International Art Competition and Exhibition in July 1996 to celebrate its half-century, the Circle offered the whole community an opportunity to become involved in its aspirations, which are to bring the appreciation of the visual arts into everyone’s life. The History was researched by the late Alan Brooks, who delved into the archives and taxed the memories of many long-standing members and produced a fascinating booklet, which was in great demand. The following is primarily Alan’s "Brief History", but has been edited and updated for this website by myself. Roland Arthur, Honorary Secretary October 2002 1. The Start The initial impetus for the formation of the Circle came from a discussion held in the Process Department of Tillotsons Ltd., (Bolton Evening News), where four people talked about the idea of forming a group for the practice and furtherance of art.
