JUST BOWLS - NATIONAL LOTTERY AWARDS

Just Bowl has been nominated for a National Lottery Award.

The Bowls Development Alliance are delighted to announce that Just Bowl has made the final 7 applicants from over 600 in the sports category for a National Lottery Award. As of the 22nd June, the public have the opportunity to vote for their favourite project.

Just Bowl was developed to take the sport of Bowls out in to the community. Engaging with Care Homes, Leisure Centres, sheltered housing & community spaces. With portable & adaptive equipment, Just Bowl has encouraged new participants to “have a go”!

Just Bowl has been delivered for the last 18 months, engaging over 1700 new participants in to the sport of Bowls. Over 600 of those are participants with a disability. This delivery has been a key factor in our progress towards the targets set within our Whole Sport Plan 2013-2017.

Throughout this time, the BDA have worked with 74 different organisations across 138 projects nationally, training 151 new session leaders, who now deliver within their own places of work.

Voting is simple and can be done via telephone or online, via these details: http://www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/awards/sports
