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.

The Chief Executive, Leader and Lord Mayor have this afternoon signed the Book of Condolence in memory of victims of the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue attack.
The Greater Manchester Faith and Belief Advisory Panel, and Greater Manchester Faith Community Leaders, have shared the following statement after yesterday's tragic incident at Heaton Park Hebrew Synagogue.
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
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.
What’s in store at tonight’s Greater Manchester Black History Month Civic Launch 🎭
The evening features networking and stalls, opening remarks from Professor Faye Ruddock DL, performances from Naija Vibes, LoveWorld Choir, Ajae, Jeneral, Soorente Fashion Show, and speeches from Andy Burnham, Paul Griffiths DL, Bishop David Walker, Lisa Samuels, and Kwame Asamoah Kwarteng.
Wishing all attendees a wonderful evening of culture and celebration.
