Bolton Council

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Bolton Council is proud of the support it offers to the Armed Forces community. The Council has now successfully achieved the Silver Award.

Through our strong relationships with our communities and partners, we make the most of people's skills, initiative and resources to ensure they achieve their full potential.

We deliver a huge number of essential services including public health, social care, planning, street maintenance, schools and libraries. 

We recognise that those within the Armed Forces community have unique skills and significant experiences to bring to civilian life, and we wish to embrace these qualities within the Bolton Family.
