Working together to develop a diverse, strong and effective voluntary and community sector in Bolton
Banana Enterprise Network
Our main purpose (subject to funding) is to offer pre-business start-up training and one to one support to unemployed people aged 18 or older. Our support is aimed at people who may not have a business idea yet or they have an idea but are at the very early stages of considering self-employment and want to learn more about what’s involved. Our service helps people to make an informed choice as to whether self-employment/starting a business is a viable and sustainable option for work for them to do. In order to expand our charitable work, we are in the process of attempting to acquire and save Grade 2 Listed Historic Rock Hall in Farnworth with the aim of turning it into a multipurpose community activity centre including a café/bistro, enterprise zone, function room, training rooms and outdoor education including a Forest School.
