All Soul's Bolton project

All Souls is a vast Victorian church set to become a modern, multi-functional space for the local community and people of Bolton. The transformation of the church will see the installation of an innovative pod design – ‘a building within a building’ - which will help leave the historic fabric largely untouched.

The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) confirmed a grant of £3.3million on the 24th September for the outstanding Grade II* listed All Souls Church in Bolton.

The video below will give you a taste of some of the challenges faced in developing the project and how these have been overcome.

The Trust is working with the local community, through the All Souls Community Centre Committee, to create a centre of community activity for the neighbourhood and wider town which will operate as a service centre and training, learning and performance space. All Souls will also host a cutting - edge multi-media exhibition telling the stories of Boltonians both today and throughout the town’s history.

• Watch an earlier video about a community day to promote the project.

The images below show how the interior of All Soul's will look once the project is completed.
