Greater Manchester councils are among 60 local authorities to get a share of a £23million fund to support people who are most at risk of long-term impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic.
The government has allocated £500,000 to Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council, which will be used to establish a network of Community Champions. They are set to work with the council to identify barriers to accessing accurate information and to provide tailored support, such as phone calls for people who are digitally excluded, helplines, and linking to GP surgeries.
