Paintings by a local artist have gone on display in Golborne’s new coffee shop, Ergo.
The works were created by David Hoult, from Lowton, who rediscovered his love of painting during the Covid lockdowns.
Retiree David found himself at a loose end when his usual volunteering roles were put on hold due to the pandemic, and so picked up his paintbrushes and re-ignited an old passion.
Inspired by his own experiences and his voluntary work at Wigan Infirmary, David decided to start selling his paintings to support local helath charites including Wigan and Leigh Hospice, Wigan and Leigh Hospital and Macmillan Cancer Support.
And, four years on from his lockdown project, David is still painting, and raising money for good causes.

Now his work is proudly on display at Ergo, which opened on Heath Street in Golborne in September.
And now, for a suggested donation of £10 (minimum) for a small painting and £20 (minimum) for a large piece, you could be taking home one of David’s unique artworks to display in your own home.
Once again, all proceeds go to cancer charities.
So call into Ergo and take a look at all the art that’s on display… it’s also a great excuse to enjoy a cake and a coffee and support one of our newest local businesses, too.
