Bolton CDP through various community engagements and consultations has been able to identify that a lot of men, especially within the African community don’t have activities especially focused on addressing issues affecting them socially unlike the women. This has led to a lot of them bottling up issues within them and could lead to feelings of isolation and mental health issues. Bolton CDP with the support of partners like big lottery has set up an intergenerational project that is focused on creating a safe space for men and young males to talk to each other and through discussions would be able to share issues together. It has been a very refreshing time for all participants.
