University of Greater Manchester, Bolton

Over the academic year, expert tutors and industry professionals will build Club members’ skills, nurture their talents and inspire them towards further and higher education and creative careers. The Club at the University of Bolton is aimed at developing young people’s self esteem and confidence through learning and exploring all aspects of art and design and the creative industries.

Accessibility statement:
Our National Saturday Club aims to be welcoming and accessible to all young people. Sessions take place in wheelchair-accessible university spaces, with accessible toilets and lift access available. We provide clear demonstrations, step-by-step instructions and additional support where possible. Activities can be adapted to suit different physical, sensory, learning and communication needs, and breaks can be taken at any time.

In some circumstances, a young person may need to attend with a parent, carer or supporting adult to ensure they can participate safely and receive the level of individual support they require. Please contact us before attending to discuss any access requirements, allergies or support needs and how we can best support you.

Club dates:

My favourite part of the Saturday Club is doing things we don’t do at school.
