A place where creativity opens the door to restoration.

In Bolton, the Green & Arts Project is growing a vibrant hub designed to uplift, inspire, and bring people together.

This welcoming space invites the Black community to slow the pace of everyday life and reconnect with themselves through art, nature, and shared experiences that soothe the mind and spirit.

Whether you’re painting, crocheting, exploring museums, tending to the garden, or enjoying the fresh air, each moment reminds us that healing doesn’t have to be rushed and it feels lighter when we share it.

Step into a space made for connection. Create. Blossom. Restore.

BREAKING -Police confirm 3 people including the attacker died following terror attack on Crumpsall Synagogue-3 others remain in serious condition https://t.co/iRdSLRsKHg

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall.

The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific.

My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services and all the first responders.

The heartbreaking moment when you or your family member gets the devastating news of terminal illness, the last thing you need is to worry about money & bills.

So we are exempting people their families from council tax.

Thanks to @mariecurieuk for championing ending poverty.
