Burscough Bowling Club has received £1,000 from leading housebuilder Persimmon Homes, Lancashire.
Its Community Champions match-funding initiative supports grassroots groups and charities in areas where the company is building, and over recent months it's focused on projects that help the over-70s who are most affected by the lockdown.
Burscough Bowling Club has been at the heart of the village for more than 125 years, providing a vital amenity for all ages and physical abilities. Persimmon’s donation will help to fund improvements to the main pedestrian entrance to the bowling green for disabled access.
The company makes two donations of up to £1,000 every month; its online application form is here: www.persimmonhomes.com/charity
