Bowls Gr8 for Brains
About Us
Bowls Gr8 for Brains was founded as an organisation to provide Mental Health support through lawn bowling programmes.
Bowls Gr8 for Brains is dedicated to the implementation of the Lawn bowling concept as a means of combatting social isolation, combatting and preventing suicide and improving people’s mental health & well-being.
Our aim is to assist with the challenges faced by our First Responders (Police, Ambulance & Firemen) and Military Families who endure living with PTSD and other mental health issues as a result of their service to our country.
Family & friends welcome
We do not provide Counselling, but we do provide coffee and a friendly chat. This can be during the bowling or after.
We do not score the games but encourage participants to learn the basics of the game and to enjoy the banter and camaraderie.
We provide bowls and the basic coaching that enables participants to learn to bowl.
We also are prepared to listen to participants and encourage them to enjoy the day.
If anyone would like to attend, we appreciate an email or phone call so we are prepared.
