Merry-Go-Round is a project of Emmaus Bolton. Our aim is to provide good quality equipment, clothing, books & toys to underprivileged children & families in Bolton and surrounding areas. As with 'Homestore', donated goods for Merry-Go-Round can be delivered to Derby Barracks or alternatively, we will collect them from you. We will then sell the donated goods at our Merry-Go-Round store.

Items which are re-donated when no longer required, (subject to them still being in good condition), will entitle the customer to a voucher for a proportion of the original cost, to be used in either M-G-R or the main 'Homestore'.

Since the summer we have been using a marquee, kindly donated by Aquila Shelters, to start the project but now with the help of our dedicated workforce we have moved into our newly renovated room in the main Homestore.

Our fundraising campaign has so far brought in just under £2,000, which has enabled us to complete the first room. The next phase will be to repair and sign a small van which has been donated, have promotional material printed and get a second room ready for expansion.
