- The Methodist Church - Bolton Circuit and The Philip Lomax Charity for The Poor of The Chapels of The Bolton Methodist Circuit11 shared board members

They are not evidence of influence, control or coordination, and many overlaps are ordinary in small communities. Only elected councillors are named. No addresses or other personal details are shown; organisation links point to existing public GovReg profiles.
