Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Third Space Bolton have published an Impact Report for 2024-25 -available on our website. It details the variety of programmes we are involved in as a charity working in close partnership with high schools, public and third sector organisations across our town. In the pages of this report there are some wonderful insights that tell the real story of impact and the changes people have made to their lives and those things they have achieved as a result of being part of the Third Space Bolton community. In 2024-25 continued our hubs by use sessional room space at Victoria Hall in Bolton town centre and St George’s Church in Farnworth. This enabled us to continue to increase our reach to young people across our town. We supported 8,500 adult participants with services including one to one conversations with Third Space Life Coaches. 600 high school students attended our in-school wellbeing sessions covering stress, anxiety, life balance, climate and the environment and drugs and alcohol. 160 practical sessions were delivered teaching skills in property refurbishment or gardening and horticulture. We wish to offer our sincere thanks to our dedicated staff team and volunteers who have worked tirelessly through this most challenging year in the life of our town. In the report we look to the future and for ways that as a charity we can expand our work further but very much in partnership with others in the town. This work would not be possible without the support of so many people and the financial support that is given through partners. These relationships help us make a tremendous impact and changepeople’s lives.
