Bowls GR8 for Brains project provides regular Social Lawn Bowling Sessions as a proactive solution to the ever-increasing suicide rates and to tackle isolation that is usually associated with people who struggle with Mental Health Challenges.

The Lavington group operates twice monthly and provides non-competitive lawn bowling – including tuition – and a coffee and chat.
