AN award-winning Bolton project has secured new funding. A scheme led by the Peak Connections Group, which has worked with over 70 people with long term and enduring mental health issues, has received a £5,000 grant from the national Assura Community Fund to help the project continue through 2021. The fund was created to support health-improving work by charities and local groups in the communities around Assura’s GP surgery, primary care and treatment centre buildings around the country. The company looks after Crompton Health Centre in Bolton. Jonathan Murphy, CEO of Assura said: “We were blown away by the number and quality of applications from all over the country.
