🛠️💜 PAINTERS & DECORATORS WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! 💜🛠️

We still have a long way to go with the Life Support Group Hub, and the next few weeks are going to be absolutely critical.

There is so much to do and so little time to do it and we can’t do it alone.

But before we ask for more help, we need to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to every single person who has already rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in. 💜

The amount of hours people have already given us is incredible. Family, friends, volunteers and even people who started out as strangers and have quickly become new friends - you’ve painted, cleaned, carried, fixed, moved, organised and helped us keep going.

Some of you have given us a few hours, others have come back again and again, giving up evenings, weekends and your own free time.
Please know how much we appreciate every single one of you. We genuinely could not have got this far without you. 💜

And now… we need another push.

🎨 We’re especially looking for PAINTERS & DECORATORS who could spare us a few hours to help get the Hub ready.

Even half a day would help.
🖌️ A few hours would help.
💜 Whatever you can spare will make a difference.

And we want to give something back.
Any tradesperson or business who gives their time to support the Hub will be promoted across our social media as our way of saying thank you and showing people which local businesses have stepped up for their community.

I’ve had surgery this week, so I’ve had to slow down a little when I really didn’t want to! But hopefully our electrical contractors will be finished tomorrow, and once the electrics are done, it really will be ALL HANDS ON DECK. 🙌

This isn’t just about painting walls or doing up a building.

We’re creating a community Hub somewhere people can walk through the door, have a brew, talk, connect with others and find support when they need it.

🙏 Are you a painter or decorator who could spare a few hours?
🙏 Do you own a local trade business that could lend us a hand?
🙏 Know someone who might? TAG THEM!
Please SHARE THIS POST or SEND US A MESSAGE.

And to everyone who has already been part of this journey - family, old friends, new friends, tradespeople and volunteers - THANK YOU. ❤️

You’re not just helping us do up a building. You’re helping us build something that could make a real difference to people’s lives.

💜 Now let’s get this Hub over the finish line together. 💜

🔨💜 AND SO IT BEGINS… OUR FIRST VOLUNTEER TRADESPERSON! 💜🔨

Tonight we had our first volunteer joiner come into The Life Support Group Community Hub and give up his own time to help us get some of those jobs ticked off the list. 🙌

A massive THANK YOU we genuinely appreciate every hour somebody is willing to give us. It all gets us one step closer to opening those doors! 💜

But… we still need more help! 👀

We’re looking for local plasterers, painters & decorators, joiners, electricians, plumbers and general handy people who could spare us an hour or two and donate their skills free of charge.
You don’t have to give us a whole day. Even one job, one hour or one evening can make a difference.

So come on Little Lever and Bolton tradespeople… who’s next? 😂🔨

We might even have to start a little competition for who turns up with the biggest drill! 🤣

If you can help, drop us a message. And if you know someone who might, TAG THEM!

Let’s get this Hub ready for our community. 💜💙

🔑💜 WE’VE GOT THE KEYS!! 💜🔑

It feels amazing to finally say that The Life Support Group CIC has the keys to our new Community Hub in Little Lever! 🏡

We’re not quite ready to throw the doors open yet though… there are still plenty of jobs to finish before we can make the Hub the welcoming community space we know it can be.

And this is where we really need the help of our amazing local community. 🙏

We’re looking for local tradespeople and businesses who would be willing to donate their time, materials or expertise FREE OF CHARGE to help us get the centre up to scratch.

🔨 Joiners
🎨 Painters & decorators
🧱 Plasterers
⚡ Electricians
🔧 Plumbers
🪚 Flooring specialists
🛠️ Handypeople
…and anyone else who could lend a hand!

We know everyone’s time and skills are valuable, so we completely understand this is a big ask. But even a few donated hours, some spare materials or help with one small job could make a massive difference to us. 💜

This Hub is being created for our whole community - supporting mental health and wellbeing, young people, families, disabled people and those with additional needs, alongside community activities, volunteering, friendship and somewhere people can simply come and belong.

If you can help us free of charge, know somebody who might, or you're a local business looking for an opportunity to give something back to the community, please message us or tag them below.
And if you can’t help practically, please SHARE this post - you never know who might see it! 🙏

We’ve got the keys… 🔑
Now we need our community to help us bring the Hub to life. 💜💙

💜 A brilliant day of connection, partnership and potentially life-saving training! 💜

The Life Support Group CIC HUB was delighted to attend the opening event at Better Days Bolton celebrating the work they’re doing to support people affected by drugs and alcohol across Bolton.

A huge thank you to Nigel Critchley, Harm Reduction Lead at Better Days, who delivered naloxone training to our team. We’re now trained and able to administer naloxone - an emergency medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and give someone that vital opportunity to receive further medical help. ❤️

This is exactly what community working should look like: organisations connecting, sharing knowledge and giving people practical tools that can save lives.

We’re also really excited that Better Days will soon be coming along to The Life Support Group CIC HUB, strengthening the links between our services and making support even more accessible within our community. 🤝

We’d strongly encourage other community organisations, volunteers and individuals to consider naloxone training too. Knowing what to do in an overdose emergency could make an enormous difference.

Thank you to Nigel and everyone at Better Days Bolton for the warm welcome, the training and a fantastic opening event and, of course, for keeping us fuelled with plenty of cake and coffee! 🧁☕️

💜 Support • Connect • Belong 💜

Together, we can make a difference.

💜 Bolton Month of Hope 2026 - Hope Happens Here 💙

Life Support Group were proud to be part of the opening day of Bolton Month of Hope on 10th September, and it was fantastic to see so many people and organisations coming together with one shared message you don’t have to struggle alone.

The Month of Hope continues throughout September and October, with events across Bolton encouraging people to walk together, talk together and support one another.

Over the next couple of weeks there are some brilliant events taking place, including the Month of Hope Information Event, 6-a-Side Football Tournament, Bolton Walk of Hope and Lancashire Wildlife Trust Mindful Walk. Please have a look at the poster for all the dates, times and locations.

Whether you come along to walk, play football, find out what support is available, or simply have a chat, everyone is welcome. 💜💙

At Life Support Group, we know that sometimes the smallest conversation can make the biggest difference. Checking in, listening without judgement and reminding someone that they matter can mean more than we realise.

Let’s keep talking.
Let’s keep supporting.
Let’s keep shining a light on su***de. 🫶

Please share this post and help us spread the word across Bolton.

💛 World Su***de Prevention Day – 10th September 💛

Today, the Life Support Group joined Whalley’s Woodland Walk for a very special and emotional walk from Moses Gate to Farnworth Park, in memory of all those whose lives have been lost to su***de.

We walked together, talked together and remembered together. Every name represents a person who was loved, who mattered, and who will never be forgotten. 🕯️💛

We wrote Marc’s name on the flag and, at the end of the walk, lit a candle for him. Seeing his name there alongside so many others and watching that little flame burn was incredibly moving.
Marc Palin - remembered, loved and carried with us every step of the way. 🕯️❤️

Thank you to Whalley’s Woodland Walk for bringing people together today and creating a space where we could remember those we've lost while also reminding anyone who may be struggling that they do not have to face things alone.

Today we walked for Marc.
We walked for every name on those flags.
We walked for those we have lost.
And we walked for those who are still fighting. 💛

Gone, but never forgotten.
