Believe Achieve in Bolton

Believe Achieve CIC was established in 2016 and formally incorporated in 2020.

We operated as a Youth Centre and eventually expanded our remit to providing a wider range of services to the local community. Our Company was registered as Company Limited by Guarantee under Registration Number: 13103678.

We create opportunities for children and young people to be active and creative. We deliver sports and arts programmes in collaboration with young people, to support them in their learning, development and employability ,we help them to develop as productive individuals.

We are a Community Interest Company based in Farnworth, working with young people between the ages of 8-12 years, 13-17 years and up to 25 years old including those with disabilities.

Our aim is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for young people of all abilities & backgrounds to come and enjoy a wide selection of activities aimed at promoting personal, social & educational development. We want to make Farnworth a great place to grow up.

We are a well-established, multi-purpose, voluntary sector organisation, which is firmly rooted in the local community. Our Centre is home to many intercultural and inter-generational groups.

We promote diversity by bringing together people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

We also support those who endeavour to make Farnworth area a more united, healthier and happier place to live for all with a focus on the environment and improving biodiversity.

We have more members at our youth club than at some of the local primary schools.

We currently operates the following activities:

  • Our Stay Active Pro-Achiever programme includes a variety of activities including Boxing, Football, Basketball, Running, Dance, and other Outdoor activities.
  • We open up opportunities for young people to try out new activities such as rock climbing and mountain biking, residential trips.
  • We mentor young people during the time of transition. This includes support with Job training, CV writing, apprenticeship and educational needs.
  • Our detached team visits various areas throughout Bolton, engaging with young people on the streets, finding out more about what they want to do, and what they think is available to them already. We signpost them to available opportunities throughout the town.
  • Believe Achieve is currently working in partnership with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in delivering knife crime workshops in Bolton schools. We are also working closely with “YOT” the Bolton Youth Offending Team to refer troubled youngsters to our project.
  • We provide and deliver emergency food parcel and support to people locked in poverty, and we also campaign for change to end the need for food banks in the UK.

” I’ve been involved with the company ever since it was formally incorporated in 2020. Due to the lockdown and the pandemic, the youth of our community are vulnerable and at risk of crime. The lack of youth centres and safe spaces to keep them off the streets has urged me to survey many young people in the community who have told me of their wishes for a youth centre with unique and tailored activities to nurture their skills. From this, I decided to listen to them and open up the centre. I’m passionate about youth work and young people and this centre through its work gives me a sense of purpose by providing them with a safe place and nurturing environment where they can flourish and be happy as young people.”
