Over 100 years ago, BLGC (Bolton Lads and Girls Club) was one of the first organisations in the Northwest to recognise the importance of providing young people with a safe haven to spend their free time.
BLGC is one of the largest youth clubs in the UK and the blueprint that inspire all Youth Zones in the OnSide Network. Based in Bolton’s town centre, BLGC are open 7 days a week, 51 weeks a year and welcome all young people aged 8 to 19 years old (up to 25 for young people with disabilities).
BLGC is a vital local youth charity that depends on generous community support to empower and uplift young people. Your contribution, no matter the amount, makes a significant impact. Click here to support the young people of Bolton with a one-time or recurring donation.
