About BSCA
Making a big difference with small actions
Every bit of help matters. Together, we can create meaningful change and support our community in powerful ways.
Our story
Dedicated to a strong, inclusive Bolton since 2003
Founded in May 2003 and officially registered as a charity in January 2003, Bolton Solidarity Community Association (BSCA) has been dedicated to creating a strong and inclusive community in Bolton. Our work focuses on three key outcomes:
- Developing skills and confidence to help individuals become independent and make progress.
- Increasing aspiration and opening opportunities that were previously unavailable.
- Building strong communities that reduce inequality and promote integration.
We work collaboratively with the voluntary, public and private sector, and we actively promote representation, inclusivity and diversity within our trustees, staff and volunteers.
Our work has earned us recognition, including the Queen’s Award for involving refugee and global-majority communities in volunteering. We’ve become a model of good practice in Bolton, playing a major role in establishing and nurturing new and emerging communities.
Mission
Our mission is to provide high-quality services that are accessible and inclusive for everyone we serve. We aim to empower individuals to participate fully in society, helping them grow and contribute as proud citizens. By offering tailored support and resources, we ensure that our service users are given the tools they need to thrive in all aspects of life.
Vision
Our main vision is to welcome and enable new and emerging communities in Bolton to become valued members of the community and live happy and healthy lives.
