The Wellsprings is spreading Christmas cheer this year with a double drive to support two local charities helping people and animals in need.
The flexible office, meeting room and co-working innovation space in Bolton town centre is encouraging residents and businesses to get involved by donating items for Back Up North West and Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter.
Donations can be dropped off at The Wellsprings’ reception to support those who need a little extra help this winter.
Kirsty Humphries, Centre Manager, said: “With the rising cost of food, fuel and everyday living expenses, many people are finding it difficult to cover the essentials, so we want to do what we can to help people and animals who may be particularly vulnerable during the winter months.
“We’re supporting Back Up North West, a brilliant charity that works with young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. They’ve asked us to get involved in their ’10 tin challenge’, which is a simple way to make a big difference. Just pick up a few non-perishable items, such as pasta sauce, baked beans, noodles or soup, and bring them along to our reception.
“We’re also collecting donations for Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter. They’d really appreciate items such as wet and dry cat and dog food, bedding, cages, scratching posts, collars, flea and worming treatments and training toys.”
Donations can be dropped off at The Wellsprings in Howell Croft S, between 8.30am and 5pm on weekdays. The last day for collections is 11th December.
As well as supporting the local community, The Wellsprings offers a welcoming business lounge, fully equipped meeting rooms and a relaxing wellness space. Its flexible workspace packages are designed to suit businesses at every stage of growth.
Oxford Innovation Space manages The Wellsprings on behalf of Bolton Council.
