Genuine Futures projects
Social enterprises built here
Run by Genuine Futures CIC, these projects give young people real work, real skills and real opportunities.
We Shine Any Car
We Shine Any Car is a youth-led car washing and valeting enterprise based at the White Horse in Harwood, Bolton, supported by Genuine Futures CIC. Every wash helps local young people build real skills — customer service, teamwork, enterprise and confidence — through practical, hands-on work with trusted adults on hand. Visit us: we wash and valet cars at the White Horse in Harwood every Thursday, 10:00am to 4:00pm. To book your car in or find out more, email hello@genuinefutures.co.uk — or simply come down on a Thursday and see the team in action.
Clean Futures
Clean Futures is a youth-led, community-driven cleaning service created to open up real opportunities for young people. What started with We Shine Any Car — a youth-led car wash initiative born from the Boss Your Future Bolton Programme — has grown into a wider range of practical cleaning services delivered with purpose. Services include help at home, wheelie bin cleaning, driveway and patio cleaning, jet washing, pop-up car wash events and We Shine Any Car. Every job provides young people with hands-on experience, helping them build confidence, develop valuable skills, and take meaningful steps forward.
