BECOME A BOLSOVER PLACE CHAMPION

A Bolsover Champion is an individual who embodies the pride, passion, and commitment to making Bolsover a thriving and vibrant place to live, work, and visit. These champions are the voices of the community, actively contributing to the regeneration and enhancement of the district.

"Our roots will always remain in the Bolsover District and we’ll remain a family-run business who care about our people. It’s our home. It’s where we live, it’s where our children go to school and it’s where our business is based. I love seeing an area thrive and even more so when it’s your home town.” Lisa Stones, Mortgage 1st

Whether they are business owners, community leaders, creatives, or residents with a deep connection to the area, Bolsover Champions share a common goal – to celebrate, promote, and enhance the distinctiveness of Bolsover. They act as advocates for positive change, supporting the improvements in public spaces, shop fronts, and the development of community hubs. Through their contributions, they help shape the identity of Bolsover, making it more attractive to visitors, businesses, and investors while strengthening the sense of belonging among its residents. Benefits of being a Place Champion:

• Access to brand resources and toolkit

• Invitations to exclusive Place Champion events – networking, behind the scenes tours and celebrations

• Insights from local business owners and Councils

• Opportunities to feedback and contribute to ongoing strategic change-making and projects

"What strikes you first about Bolsover is the warmth and friendliness of the people. The town’s welcoming atmosphere, combined with its historical sites, makes it a special place to both live and work." Louise Fountain, English Heritage

"These Place Programme's values are at the core of what we do, we need a strong foundation under which to grow and we need that for the stability of our team in order to flourish, but if we cant get the local support to do that we will need to move out of the area. We connect not just locally and nationally, but also globally." Richard Burnett, KB Event
