The Bolton and Bury Business awards take place at The University of Bolton Stadium next Thursday, September 27 2018, and Bolton FM are up for an award to recognise our partnership working with Bolton Hospice. The Community award looks to celebrate organisations that “make a committed and proactive contribution to the enhancement and benefit of the Bolton community.” Judges will look at how well we’ve worked in partnership with Bolton Hospice and the impact we’ve had within the local community.

Bubble Rush, Bolton Hospice’s family friendly 5k, took place at Queens Park last weekend. The course started with a sea of bubbles and featured four Bubble Stations along the route where cannons pumped out coloured foam to create a 4ft deep bubble bath. Bubble Rush raised an amazing £36,000 for Bolton Hospice.

The Mayor of Bolton, Cllr Sherrington, will be taking part in “Deserted on an Island” on Friday’s Mid-Morning’s with Andrew and Phil.

Bolton FM’s chairman, Andrew Dickson, will be inviting her to choose three records, a book and a luxury item to help her survive. He will also be asking her about her life's journey to become the town’s first citizen.

You can listen to them from 9am by tuning in to 96.5 FM or by visiting boltonfm.com and clicking listen live.
