Not only does BACKUP Northwest provide a priceless and essential service in continuing to prevent homelessness and promote independent living to young people. It provides its service users and staff with: Respect, Empowerment, Development and Consistency.
It’s its also a little sad that it has to continue to expand to achieve its mission yet it has done so in a professional and strategic manner.
BACKUP’s operational model can only be admired as it put people first.

A charity that has grown beyond belief since Maura Jackson became the Chief Executive. Her 'hands on' approach with fund raising has raised the profile of this vital charity in Bolton to offer much needed support to young homeless people.

A fantastic charity helping young people who would be homeless without the help of Back up. I have met some of the teenagers helped by Back up and they are all in a much happier place than they were. I cannot praise all the people involved enough! Making a difference for people who really need it!

I firmly believe in this charity - not only do they offer a roof to young homeless or sofa surfing young adults but they give everything they need to survive as an adult. They offer the information and teach how to live, work, go to collage or university, manage bills - life skills
Nothing is more important than life skills - learning wrong/right - how to manage money - time - work - how to apply for jobs
This charity is a Bolton business doing the best they can to our community

Backup is a remarkable organisation that not only keeps youngsters off the streets but gives them hope as well as a home. A blend of powerful professionalism and genuine caring creates an excellent system of care.

What can I say except it covers all bases when sign posting vulnerable young adults to support, at each step staff are amazing at giving support. Back up prizes itself on the philosophy of treating each ad an individual and bring kind counts for nothing, very humbling

BackUp are a fantastic charity staffed by passionate dedicated people who really care about the young people they work with. Without them many more young people would be homeless or without the support they need.

What an amazing service! Young people have benefitted from this for 27 years now and although it’s a tragic state of affairs it’s needed - it is. And they do a marvellous job.

Backup NW IS one of the best charities in Bolton and indeed the North. Full of dedicated staff, committed to their roles in ensuring young people who are homeless and at the lowest time of their short lives are safe, valued and have their basic needs met. Commissioned to deliver services they go way and beyond what’s expected because they give a dam. They’ve expanded and grown with the sole purpose of helping more young people to thrive; and in some minority of cases just stay alive! In doing so they’ve created jobs and economy for Bolton and raised the profile of the town too. Brilliant service.

I'm astounded by the fabulous work Backup North West does. Amazing support for the young homeless in many aspects. I have recently met some of the staff and they are all fantastic and enthusiastic about what they do. So nice to see such comradeship and encouragement from the multiple award winning leader. Well done to all involved.

This is an amazing charity who work tirelessly for young homeless people, offering a HUGE range of services. I have worked with this charity for a few years now and have been so impressed with their fund raising events to help support these young people. It is also a place were staff are well looked after and supported too and I have been honoured to have been asked to do some work with staff; everything from one to one coaching sessions, stress angel (offering a range of holistic therapy treatments), meditation sessions, stress awareness sessions and have also offered the stress angel holistic therapies to young people. The charity have been nominated for many awards which tells you what a wonderful charity it is. A wonderful charity who highlight the plight of young homeless people to the people who matter; thus making a HUGE difference to the lives of the young people who use the service.

This is an organisation that changes people's lives for the better. in relation to homelessness the media almost always focus on the (excellent) work being done by organisations who assist people who are already homeless and / or rough sleeping . What 'Backup' does is work with people between 16-25 offering a package of accommodation and intensive support that prevent people from drifting in to that spiral of worklessness, homelessness, and helplessness, in the first place.
