IMPACT REPORT 2021/22

We are thrilled to announce

that we have now released our

2021/22 Bolton Wanderers in the

Community Impact Report. Join

us as we take a look back over

the last 12 months and highlight

some of the meaningful and

extensive work we undertook in

the community.

Using the power of sport

combined with Bolton Wanderers

Football Club, we provide positive

engagement across Bolton and

its wider communities in a bid to

narrow the gap of disadvantage in

Health, Education, Disability and

Inclusion.

In this digital document we

dive into each of our fantastic

programmes, hearing stories and

first hand testimonies from an ever

growing, ever improving Bolton. In

the report you can also meet our

staff, review our financial summary

and social media reach. You can

hear from trustees, partners and

also see how the players from

Bolton Wanderers, gave back to

their community.

Speaking on our work over the

last year, BWitC CEO Phil Mason

said: “Bolton Wanderers in the

Community has continued to

develop its great work in Bolton.

I am delighted by the feedback

I receive from so many who talk

of the change since the new

ownership of the Club and the real

desire to be a force for good in our

town.”

“Within the Impact Report there

are some very moving testimonies

and stories from participants who

engage with us. I want to thank our

trustees, staff, volunteers, funders,

partners and sponsors who are

collectively helping us to deliver

positive change in our town.”

MORE THAN JUST A

FITNESS CLASS

Before FIT FANS, Amjid had been

off sick from work since October

2021 suffering with depression

due to a family trauma incident.

Amjid was struggling to cope with

daily tasks, for example booking

at least 5 separate gym sessions

and cancelling last minute as

he wasn’t mentally well enough

to attend, he had become very

withdrawn.

A Mental Health Nurse he met via

his GP had put him in touch with

Fit Trotters, both Jack and Dianne

made contact and explained the

details of the course which was

due to start soon. After enrolling,

Amjid was very anxious and afraid

of what to expect, but showed up

for his weigh in whilst he met other

coaches and they recorded his

details.

The course was to run Wednesday

evenings from 6:30pm to 8:00pm,

January to March. The following

Wednesday Amjid did attend but

he stated he had found it hard due

to struggling with his mental health,

he had been sat on the stairs at

home at about 6:30pm when his

wife asked him why he hadn’t left

to go to his Trotters session. Amjid

stated he was just leaving and

reluctantly attended the session

and was very quiet in class.

Everyone then participated in a

walk around the football ground

which Amjid really enjoyed and

thus began to open up to the

group. He told us that he hadn’t

felt like attending but was glad

that he did as it was the only event

that had got him out of the house

in the past few months. He started

to especially look forward to the

group activities such as circuit

training.

Over the coming weeks Amjid

grew in confidence, became a key

motivator for the group and has

built strong friendships. He’s also

been keen to motivate his Trotters

team on the Fit Trotters WhatsApp

group when they have tried new

challenges or meal plans. Amjid

has also sent pictures of his own

healthy meals to share with his

team and details from an over

50s boxing class he has been

attending with his new Trotters

friend.

Amjid is in a much better place,

both physically and mentally. He

has lost 3 kg whilst he has been

on the course, his physicality has

improved so much so he was

running in the circuit sessions

towards the latter half of the

course providing inspiration to

the rest of the group. Amjid loves

his job as an emergency service

officer and was over the moon he

was able to return back to working

in the community where he will

make a difference in people’s lives.

PHIL MASON

ONE CLUB,

ONE COMMUNITY,

ONE TOWN

Club Chaplain & Senior Safeguarding Manager 07885 755 807 and pmason@bwfc.co.uk

THE IMPACT YOUR CLUB IS MAKING IN THE TOWN.

We can all celebrate the fact that

Bolton Wanderers Football Club

is back on a positive trajectory

and those that own the Club

and work within it have a real

“can do” approach working with

enthusiasm to achieve and be

successful. The renewal and the

building of the next chapter in

the history of your Club involves

ensuring the best performance

on the pitch and the best

performance off the pitch too. The

board, led by Sharon, recognise

the importance of being good

custodians of this great Club and

recognise the responsibility it

has to play a significant part in

the town of Bolton as an anchor

institution.

An important element of fulfilling

that role is through the charity arm

of the Club, Bolton Wanderers in

the Community.

Bolton Wanderers in the

Community is the tangible and

real commitment of your Club

to the community of Bolton. The

mission of the charity is to use

the power of Bolton Wanderers

to inspire, support and deliver

positive change. This is achieved

through intervention, prevention

and targeted engagement with the

creation of sustainable pathways

that transform lives. This is

achieved through working together

and connecting people that enable

communities to thrive and succeed.

Last week Bolton Wanderers in the

Community published an impact

report that brings to life the stories

of those who have engaged with

the charity and the differences

that has brought to their lives. With

over 15,000 individuals engaged

in 10 programmes and 33 projects

your club is making a big impact

off the field and in the surrounding

communities.

Bolton is one of the 20% most

deprived districts/unitary

authorities in England and there

are many areas of challenge and

uncertainly for its residents. It is

for this very reason we exist and

operate as the charity arm of the

Club to work towards our overall

vision of a connected Bolton

without disadvantage.

I encourage you to take time to

have a read through the impact

report and to read the stories of

those individuals who have made

positive changes in their lives like

Sohail.

In May 2021 Sohail took up a

Kickstart role with the charity as a

Community Coach after struggling

to find work for 6 months. He had

experienced significant barriers

in relation to his health which had

affected his confidence and he

was looking to give back to the

community by helping those who

had been through similar situations

themselves. “I had a period of time

where I was really struggling with

my mental health, confidence and

I was having more seizures due

to my epilepsy. The opportunity

with Bolton Wanderers in the

Community came at a really good

time and gave me the chance to try

something new. Working for Bolton

Wanderers in the Community has

helped me get out of my comfort

zone, meet new people, develop

my confidence and has had a

really positive impact on my health.

I’m enjoying every minute of it and

can’t wait to develop my skills even

further”.

This is your Club, in your

Community in your town making

real impact.

MEMORABLE MATCHES

SEASON 2022/23 MARKS THE 25TH

ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF

BOLTON STADIUM.

Tuesday 30th September 1997

Coca Cola Cup 2nd Round 2nd leg.

BOLTON WANDERERS 4

LEYTON ORIENT 4

Still the Wanderers searched

for their first win at the Reebok,

this time against Third Division

Leyton Orient, where they had

the consolation of surviving to go

through to the next round thanks

to the 3-1 first leg advantage

gained at Brisbane Road the

previous week.

Chief Coach Phil Brown took

the side as manager Colin Todd

was away on a scouting mission,

ironically looking for a forward

to strengthen the squad, but on

this occasion it was a number of

defensive errors that kept the

Londoners in the tie.

A number of changes to the side

saw Gavin Ward in goal and a

makeshift defence that featured

Mike Whitlow as captain and centre

back, although Wanderers weren’t

helped by the loss of Michael

THROUGHOUT THE SEASON CLUB

HISTORIAN SIMON MARLAND WILL LOOK

BACK AT SOME MEMORABLE GAMES.

Johansen after just 15 minutes

through injury, complacency crept

into their performance.

Alex Inglethorpe capitalized on

slack marking to put Orient ahead

in the 7th minute but the lead only

lasted a minute as Nathan Blake

dived to head in Jamie Pollock’s

off target volley into an equaliser.

Orient again took the lead on

the night, Carl Griffiths taking

advantage of Whitlow’s slip, only

30 | The Wanderer 01204 328 888

for Blake to again come to the

rescue just before half time with a

class finish.

A Joe Baker free kick restored

Orient’s lead, awarded for a

needless foul on Griffiths by Andy

Todd, but Bolton levelled again in

the 65th minute when a penalty

was awarded after Per Frandsen

had been upended. John McGinlay

stepped up to make it 3-3 and that

proved to be his 118th and final

goal for the club before making a

move to Bradford.

A minute later substitute Arnar

Gunnlaugsson headed Wanderers

ahead for the first time on the night

but Orient weren’t finished and had

the consolation of a draw on the

night when Mark Warren scored in

the final minute of the game.

Bolton’s reward was a third round

home tie against fellow Premier

League side Wimbledon where

they would be looking for revenge

after losing to them at the quarter

final stage the previous season at

Burnden.

Team: Ward, McAnespie,

Todd, Whitlow, Phillips, Pollock,

Sunday 26th October 1997

FA Carling Premiership.

BOLTON WANDERERS 1

CHELSEA 0

The Wanderers finally registered

a Premiership win at the Reebok

that saw them climb off the

bottom of the table and out of the

relegation zone.

New £3.5 million pound striker

Dean Holdsworth spoke about the

relief of starting to repay part of the

fee with his first goal for the club,

in what was his third appearance,

to help register the first League

win since the opening day of the

season. The club had recorded

their first win at the Reebok twelve

days earlier with a 3rd round Coca

Cola win against Holdsworth’s

previous club Wimbledon but

after so many close calls against

Everton, Manchester United,

Tottenham and Aston Villa it was

a relief to finally get some home

success in the League.

It’s true that Wanderers rode their

luck against Chelsea with ‘keeper

Keith Branagan playing the hero’s

role to deny the Londoners. Two

magnificent saves denied Mark

Hughes and on the stroke of half

time Dan Petrescu also saw his

goal bound effort turned away.

The winning goal, Wanderers first

Premiership goal from open play

at the Reebok, came with just 18

minutes remaining. Holdsworth

neatly turned Scott Sellars cross

past Ed De Goey and the Dutch

‘keeper had to be alert just two

minutes later with a fingertip save

from Sellars as Bolton went for

the kill.

Nathan Blake then shot wide of an

unguarded goal but final minutes

seemed to last a lifetime as the

Londoners went all out for an

equalizer and there was palpable

relief as referee Peter Jones blew

the final whistle.

After the celebrations in the camp

there was a realization discipline

needed improving with Gerry

Taggart receiving his fifth booking

of the season. This, added to

his sending off at West Ham the

previous week, meant he would

now have to sit out six games.

Sellars also reached the threshold

whilst Andy Todd was still out with

his ban for a punch up with Aston

Villa’s Stan Collymore.

Team: Branagan, Bergsson,

Fish, Taggart, Phillips,

Frandsen, Thompson, Sellars.

Beardsley,(Pollock), Blake,

Holdsworth. Subs not used:

Johansen, Aljofree, Gunnlaugsson,

Ward.

FRANDSEN

First game you attended at the

current stadium?

It was the first ever game against

Everton remembered for the goal

that never was. Gerry Taggart’s

header clearly crossed the line but

there was no video technology at

the time and the ref didn’t give the

goal and the game finished 0-0.

At the end of the season we were

relegated on goal difference to of

all teams, Everton.

Last game you attended at the

current stadium?

Salford in the League Cup – a 5-1

win

Best opposition player you’ve

seen play at the stadium?

Thierry Henry. A Rolls Royce of a

player. We had the Indian sign over

Arsenal during Big Sam’s time at

the Reebok so he didn’t always

play when Arsenal visited but he

was World class on his day.

Best atmosphere you’ve ever

experienced at the stadium?

Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Cup

in 2008. The stadium was buzzing

that night and we won 1-0 with

Sergio Aguero sent off, but what a

career he then went on to have. I

never thought I would see Bolton

Nicolas

ANELKA

Ricardo Gardner was my favourite he arrived as a teenager from

Jamaica after the 1998 World Cup. He came back from 3 cruciate knee

ligament operations and won Player of the Year playing at full back.

play in Europe but that was a great

European night at the Reebok.

Another game with a great

atmosphere was when we beat

Middlesbrough 2-1 to stay up in

the Premier League in 2003. I

remember Big Sam dancing with

Jay Jay on the pitch at the end of

the game. There were so many

smiling happy faces amongst

Bolton fans and we went on to

prosper after that qualifying for

Europe - we finished 8th, 6th, 8th

and 7th in the next four seasons

in the Premier League. The best

performing team over that period

outside the big 4.

The best set of away fans you’ve

seen at the stadium?

The Celtic fans who came for

Jimmy Phillips’ testimonial.

Youri

DJORKAEFF

Kevin

DAVIES

Best match you’ve attended at

the stadium?

The Nottingham Forest game when

we scored twice in 2 minutes to

come back and win 3-2 right at the

end to stay in the Championship

was something else; the noise

when Aaron Wilbraham scored the

winner was deafening.

Nicest home kit Bolton have worn

since 1997?

I liked the 2001/02 home kit. The

Reebok shirts were the best.

The best goal you’ve witnessed in

person at the stadium?

Nicolas Anelka‘s first goal for

Bolton against Arsenal when he cut

in from the left and curled a shot

past Jens Lehmann into the top

corner. A great goal.

B TEAM AND ACADEMY

The B team were set to kick off

their Central League programme

today as Matt Craddock’s squad

began its competitive campaign.

The Whites were playing at

Fleetwood Town this afternoon to

begin a new era for the Academy

set-up.

The introduction of the B team has

been designed to try and create an

improved path-way to the first team

set-up for the club’s young players.

And it’s already showing signs

of working, with summer signing

Nelson Khumbeni and first-year

professional Lamine Toure making

senior debuts.

The teenage pair both came off

the bench in the closing stages of

the Whites’ 5-1 Carabao Cup win

over Salford City after impressing

in training and during the B team’s

pre-season fixtures.

Nelson Khumbeni and Lamine Toure

“I think it’s important we blood

some young players. It was a

perfect opportunity with the

scoreline how it was,” said

manager Ian Evatt.

“Those two have been impressing

with the B team and it will really

inspire the B team players to see

some of their team members come

on and affect the first team game.

“They should be looking at those

two as to why they’ve been chosen

and to how they’ve performed in

the B team – day-in, day-out and

not just match days.

“Credit to them – two good young

men and two excellent young

footballers and hopefully there’s

more where that came from.

“Every day on the training pitch is

an opportunity to impress us and it

will show there is a clear pathway

here.”

The B team will play in the

Central League and League Cup,

alongside a series of friendlies

to provide a variety of tests from

different opposition.

Meanwhile, the Youth Team are

having a delayed start to their

EFL Youth Alliance North West

schedule due to their pre-season

trip to Madrid.

The first couple of fixtures have

been rescheduled with Julian

Darby’s side set to start out in the

group stage of the league cup

competition at Grimsby Town next

Saturday.

The youths have enjoyed a

successful training and educational

trip to Spain, which included three

matches and the chance to train at

the Spanish FA.

The young Whites beat local

sides CD Mostoles and Raya

Majadahonda and then in their final

game played Atletico Madrid.

Danny Jones scored for Wanderers

before the La Liga giants ran

out 2-1 winners in a fantastic

experience for Darby’s boys.

ANYONE WHO ENTERS THE PITCH WITHOUT

PERMISSION AND THOSE CARRYING OR USING

SMOKE BOMBS OR PYROS WILL NOW RECEIVE

AN AUTOMATIC CLUB BAN.

‘LOVE FOOTBALL. PROTECT THE GAME’

A message about anti-social and criminal behaviour

To mark the new season, we want to

make you aware of new measures

being taken across all of football

to ensure everyone can have a safe

and enjoyable experience. We are

supporting strong action from the

FA, Premier League and EFL to tackle

anti-social and criminal behaviours

that put all of us at risk.

This reflects the seriousness of

the risks to fans and staff – pyros

can burn at 2000 degrees Celsius

and cause lifechanging injuries,

while entering the pitch endangers

players, managers and match

officials.

We know those who commit these

illegal acts do not represent the

majority of supporters.
