Bolton Lads & Girls Club aims to help the young people of today become happy, caring and responsible citizens of tomorrow.

We aim to give children and young people the opportunity to have regular contact with non-judgmental, caring adults who encourage them to be positive and make constructive use of their leisure time, empathise with them and support them through any challenges, changes and difficulties they face.

Bolton Lads & Girls Club was established in 1889 to provide a safe, leisure time for young lads, especially those working in the local mills.

The idea was an instant success and the club continued to grow. Girls were also allowed into the club in 1991...
