Bowling Club Scores Funding Win
A bowling club in Lancashire is celebrating after scoring a funding win.
Forton Bowling Club, based in between Preston and Lancaster has won £3,000 from our Lancashire business. The donation comes after the club applied for funding through our Community Champions initiative.
Phil Winstanley, Chair of Forton Bowling Club accompanied by members of the club recently took receipt of a cheque from our Regional Managing Director, Anthony Mansfield. The money will go toward a variety of improvements at the club, including the upgrading of their mower and the portable floodlighting.
"We are absolutely delighted to receive this award of £3,000 from Persimmon. This will help attract many new members by allowing us to improve the green and its surrounds and making it a tremendous asset for the village of Forton.”
