This week is a very emotional one for me and many others connected to Harmony. We are leaving our centre of nearly 20 years on Friday. In the time we have enjoyed here, I have seen so many bright young people flourish in this safe, warm and creative environment. Many of these children are now adults with careers inspired by their time with us and children of their own, some who have joined Harmony and brought us full circle
I would like to take this opportunity to thank every child who has taken part or just passed through this amazing centre. Every Volunteer who has given so much of their precious time to support, advise and be role models to all the wonderful children we have hosted here. All of our amazing and creative staff, whether you be dancers, singers, musicians, DJs or admin, for showing our young people a creative alternative to negative behaviours.
We are handing the keys over on Friday 28th October 2022. If anyone would like to come by this week and take one last look before then you are more than welcome. If you have any pictures, videos or memories of your time at Harmony you would like to share please comment or send them over, it would be great to reminisce over all the great times we’ve had and create a page on our website dedicated to the amazing times we’ve had here.
This is not the end of Harmony, or the end of our media centre. We may be leaving here but we are starting anew in our new media centre above “super car clinic” (105 Halliwell Rd, Bolton, BL1 3NB) to continue our much needed youth work and creative projects. We also have our new office in the town centre, providing mental health services, counselling and advice for adults and families across Bolton.
