27th September 2011 was the launch of the Bolton Manufacturing Network Group. Manufacturers from Bolton and the surrounding towns have been invited to meet up on a monthly basis to help increase customer and supplier contacts, while at the same time discussing local issues and how they can assist each other moving forward. The launch event was a great success and lots of positive feedback was shared regarding how the group could develop to boost manufacturing in the area.
Attendees of the meeting each pay 15 pounds on entry which is donated to a local charity each month. The chosen charity for September was Bolton Hospice and the group doanted a total of 100 pounds raised from the event. Steve Holt the Development Manager for Bolton Hospice Lottery explained to the group how they could help to fundraise by joining the Hospice Lottery. Entry into the lottery can cost as little as 1 pound per week and you are in with a chance of winning 1000 pound every week. Every pound raised stays in Bolton and is donated back to the Hospice to help care for and support local people. The lottery is also a great addition to companies looking for easy ways to boost staff morale and make a difference in the area.
