A COMPANY in Bolton has become the latest to join the patron family for a north-west children's charity.

Thornton & Lowe, a finalist in the 2019 Bolton Business Awards, have become corporate supporters of Lagan's Foundation.

Bid writing specialists, based in Higher Bridge Street, the firm has recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.

And charity officials say that director Dave Thornton, a keen backer of local charities, was keen to give something back to the community.

A foundation spokesman said: "He supports many organisations throughout the town and is passionate about the aims of our charity."

The organisation, which specialises in congenital heart conditions and complex health conditions and works out of offices in Manchester Road, offers a free home support service for babies to five-year-olds.

And their service also runs a wider care service, catering for those aged up to 19.

The charity would like to hear from any other Bolton firms, organisations or individuals who might want to become a patron, fundraise or volunteer.
