Our goal is simple: to support people in Bolton who are struggling and make sure they have somewhere to turn.

We provide a safe, welcoming space for people facing poverty, homelessness, housing problems, financial hardship or isolation. Whether someone needs help with food and essentials, practical advice, support with a problem or simply someone to talk to, we are here to help.

Where we cannot provide the help directly, we will support people to connect with the right local services and organisations.

At Response Bolton, nobody should feel they have to face a difficult situation alone.


What we do

We provide food and essential items to people and families in Bolton who are struggling to make ends meet.

Our support is there for people facing financial hardship, food insecurity or an unexpected crisis. We aim to provide practical help when it is needed most, while also looking at whether there are other ways we can support you.

We support people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or experiencing housing difficulties.

We can listen to your situation, provide practical guidance and help you find the right support. Where specialist help is needed, we can assist with referrals and connect you with appropriate local organisations and services.

Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to turn when you are struggling.

We provide friendly, one-to-one practical support with issues such as finances, benefits, housing and accessing local services. If we cannot help directly, we will help you find an organisation that can.

Response is about more than dealing with a crisis. We want people to feel supported, connected and part of their community.

Our community sessions and activities provide a welcoming place to meet others, talk and access support. We also work with local organisations to help people get the right support when they need it.
