Almost £300,000 for Bolton’s Banana Enterprise Network

£295,000 was allocated to Banana Enterprise Network Ltd in Bolton in December 2022 from the UK Community Ownership Fund for their project ‘Save Rock Hall’.

With their allocation the organisation plan to facilitate the acquisition of Rock Hall, a Grade II listed building in a Country Park in Farnworth, and undertake emergency repairs and renovations.

The group would like to reopen the hall as a:

  • multi-purpose and self-sustainable community asset

  • destination venue for the community and park users with a cafe, bistro, heritage centre including outdoor activity centre.
