Jubilee Centre gets an early Christmas present

As visitors at Bolton’s flagship Jubilee Community Centre and Pool gathered to enjoy their Christmas Fayre on Thursday, they received an early Christmas present with the donation of £5,000.00 from Clear Futures to help fund a new outdoor woodwork and craft workshop.

The Jubilee Centre was opened in June 2023 and was specifically designed to offer leisure and support services to people with autism and learning disabilities, providing respite for families and enabling people to develop their independence and life skills.

Clear Futures has been working in a strategic partnership with Bolton Council since 2019 and have worked with several local and regional contractors to deliver a number of key projects for Bolton  including the Jubilee Centre, the recently refurbished Bolton Library and the extension to the food hall at Bolton Market.

Keith Edwards, Partnership Director at Clear Futures, said, “We are immensely proud of the new Jubilee Centre as a project. It is a stunning care facility and seeing the positive difference and joy that the facilities and staff bring to visitors daily is truly inspirational. Core to our approach is to maximise the community and local economic benefits that the Council’s capital projects deliver for Bolton, and the Jubilee Centre provided an amazing  48% of social value against a target of 20%. The funding and support we are providing to help Bolton Cares deliver this new workshop for the community is another example of our commitment to Bolton, and the lasting legacies we strive to provide from all the projects we manage on behalf of the Council.”

Nestled in the heart of Bolton on Crompton Way, the Jubilee Centre boasts a state-of-the-art Hydrotherapy pool to support a range of abilities, as well as sensory and rebound rooms and community spaces that can be booked for everyone to enjoy. The centre is a key asset to the work that Bolton Cares provides.

Speaking at the presentation of the cheque on Thursday, Rhian Stone, Managing Director of Bolton Cares Group, commented: “We’re incredibly grateful to the team at Clear Futures for its donation to the Jubilee Community Centre and Pool. The centre is a vital asset to people with physical and learning difficulties across Bolton and without the support of companies like Clear Futures, we’d be limited on the improvements we can make to both the facility and the services on offer. The people we welcome into the centre are talented and passionate, and we’re delighted that we can support their interest in woodworking and crafts with the introduction of the new outdoor workshop. We’re excited to see what will be created when the workshop opens and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved to helping make it happen.”
