Lostock AC secure National Lottery Funding

Lostock Ac are pleased to announce that we been successful in securing a small grant from the National Lottery Community Fund. This grant will help the club to encourage more people from our local community to get active and improve their health and wellbeing.

We are currently offering free yoga sessions and will be delivering a rolling couch to 5k programme starting on 7 January 2026. The funding is supporting the training of volunteers as Run leaders to enable the club to grow and develop. If you would like to join our couch to 5k programme, please contact us on social media (@lostock_a_c).

There will also be weekly health and wellbeing sessions for over 60 primary aged children from local schools and young adults with special needs over the next 18 months.

We are excited for 2026 and using the money to support the local community in Bolton. For more details follow us on social media.

Joining Lostock AC has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I decided to give it a try mainly to loose weight and meet new people. It's really helped with my weight, mental health and output on life. I've been in the club over a year now. Everyone makes you feel so welcome and I love being part of the Lostock family. My running has definitely improved, especially seeing all the medals I've won. It is not just running, Lostock offers other activities too such as cycling, bootcamp and skiing. All I've had a go at which has just been brilliant. Lostock is my second family . I have entered the Machester marathon next year and an ultra. All this for someone who couldn't run . Everyone has made me feel very welcome in the club, I now consider myself to be a runner and would recommend anyone to give Lostock a try.

I joined Lostock AC to help improve my running and to motivate me to run more often. The club has surpassed my expectations. I am not from Bolton originally and did not have many friends in the area. I now feel part of an extended family. I have been encouraged and supported to run half marathons, marathons and an Ultra. I would never believe this was possible 3 years ago.
