In December 2025, Ian Macneill presented a cheque for £536 to Darren Williams, District Leader, and Bianca Stones, Leader from 7th Kings Scout Group, Farnworth & Bolton. The donation helped fund neckers, woggles, district badges and embroidery for the investiture held in January 2026.

The Scouts Association in the Bolton and Farnworth area supports young people aged 5 to 18, helping them develop skills for life while planning and delivering a better future.

Over 40 people attended the presentation, where Ian spoke about the ELMC and the donation made to the group. He also highlighted the many other contributions ELMC has made to Scout groups across Bolton and Farnworth over the years.

Everyone present expressed their thanks and were truly impressed by the continued support and generosity shown by ELMC.
