Bringing Together Community Groups in Great Lever to Run the Former UCAN centre

 

Valuable work being carried Vout for the community of Great Lever will continue thanks to funding from Bolton Council, Bolton at Home and Bolton Community Home s and the dedication of Community Groups volunteer workers.

Founded in April 2014 Great Lever Connected (GLC) inherits the mantle of UCAN – and operates from the existing office at 98 Calvert Road. GLC brings together r epr e s ent a tive s from s eve r a l community groups in the area with the aim to enhance existing services and to develop new opportunities for people in Great Lever, Bolton.

A key offering of the centre, in an age of high unemployment and stiff competition for new jobs, is provision of computer access to enable local people to search for suitable positions via Universal Job Match – as well as offering support and advice on CVs and interview skills. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes take place on Mondays and Fridays and Chris Ashton holds one-to-one advice sessions on money management, saving and budgeting.

Great Lever Connected draws together seemingly diverse groups – with the aim of enhancing the lives of those in the community and encouraging community events and exchange of ideas.
