From the beginning of April 2014, working in partnership with the Parks and Countryside Service, Bury Employment Support and Training (Bury EST) have taken over the management of the Manchester Road Park bowling facility. We will look to expand on current provision by providing not just the successful operation of the bowling facility, but looking to develop additional activities and opportunities

to improve the confidence, self esteem, health and independence of disabled and disadvantaged funded local residents; at the same time increase volunteering opportunities and develop community involvement for everyone using the park. The café opened to the general public at the end of August and we are currently looking to up-skill our customers through qualifications and on the job training, to increase their independence and maximize their chances of meaningful employment. The success of the project to date has been so astonishing, that Bury EST offered employment to 3 customers, working predominately at the park, with the potential of affording more employment opportunities to local disabled and disadvantage customers as the project continues. The community café is open Monday to Friday 10.00am – to 3.30pm Monday to Friday every week, so please spread the word that the café is now open and please feel free to pop in and take a look around the facilities.

Recently two of our employability groups went on a site visit to Asda Pilsworth. Jill, their community champion, welcomed them all and gave them a behind the scenes tour of the store. They learnt all the varying roles within the store and even got to try out some of them for themselves! All the staff were incredibly welcoming when talking through their roles. Experiences like these are so valuable to our individuals. Thank you so much to Jill and the rest of the team at Asda Pilsworth, we love to see opportunities like these come into action 😊
