The Destitution Project - Bolton

Bolton Disabled People’s Group (Bolton DPG) is a charity that supports disabled individuals in Bolton. Their aim is to empower people with disabilities to have a voice and access the services they need for a better quality of life.

The group works with various clients, including those with physical disabilities, learning difficulties, and mental health challenges. They provide information, advice, and advocacy services to help individuals navigate local services, benefits, and support systems. For example, they might assist someone in applying for disability benefits or finding accessible housing.
