Why the charity exists

THE LINDALE BOWLING ASSOCIATION exists to support public benefit through healthy recreation. The charity does this by maintaining and encouraging access to bowls facilities so that local people can participate in outdoor activity, social connection, and shared community life.

What this mission means in practice

Healthy recreation

The charity supports physical activity in a calm, local, and manageable format through bowls.

Facilities for bowls

Providing and maintaining bowls facilities is the practical means through which the mission is delivered.

Local charities matter because they preserve places and opportunities that help communities remain connected.
