National Citisenship Service
Our project is based on Mental Health in which we worked with charities such as MhIST to create this video. Our aim is to raise awareness that mental health cannot be clearly seen physically and advertise the support people can get. The statistics provided throughout were gathered by the charity. This was created as part of the NCS programme in partnership with Bolton Lads and Girls Club. Watch their excellent work on Youtube

A Lancashire Lasses Nature Diary
North of the busy industrial town of Bolton in Lancashire lies an area of rugged upland, culminating in the well-known mast-topped summit of Winter Hill, which has long provided a recreational opportunity for the citizens of the region. These hills, comprised geologically from the Carboniferous coal measures, topped in places by remnants of millstone grit, they represent the southern flanks of the Forest of Rossendale.
