Mission Statement

Backup North West believe no young person should experience homelessness. For the young people that do; Backup aims to be an outstanding provider of high quality, holistic housing and support services.

Description

Backup (Formerly Bolton Young Persons Housing Scheme) was set up in 1992 in partnership with Bolton Council and Irwell Valley Housing with one house in Daubhill. We provide an opportunity for young people who are homeless to be safe, stable and develop skills for independence.
