Bolton Community Champion Joanne Owen
Community Champion for Farnworth South, Farnworth North
My name is Joanne and I became a Community Champion to support my local area during the COVID-19 pandemic. I continue to volunteer as a champion, as due to long term health conditions including being diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that totally changed my life, I am really keen to support 'Let's Keep Bolton Moving', which is a great website and resource for all Bolton residents who want to positively change their lives through the five ways to well-being - Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning and Giving. I believe that strong, safe, vibrant, inclusive and healthy communities are our greatest asset, and I have also previously volunteered for Bolton College as a Community Learning Ambassador and subsequently became involved with Community Champions through my local learning centre. As a lifelong learner myself, I am happy to help anyone who is interested in getting back into learning whether it be at Bolton College or at a local learning centre, and no matter what your community enquiry may be, please get in touch. My particular areas are Bolton town centre and Westhoughton, and I look forward to hearing from you.
My interests are history, travel, learning French, health and well-being, lifelong learning and creating strong, healthy, safe communities.
