Donation helps Altofts bowlers prepare for new season
Altofts Bowling Club has received a £500 donation from Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire to help support the club’s activities and prepare the green for the season ahead.
The club operates several teams across multiple leagues in the area and currently has more than 50 members. Run by volunteers, the community group focuses on competitions and charity fundraising.
Club Secretary Paul Frankish said: “We have done a lot of work recently to maintain and upgrade our site, including both our bowling green and clubhouse.
"We appreciate this support from Taylor Wimpey as we prepare the green for the coming season, as it brings considerable expense. We have also been advertising the club more extensively and have starter sessions planned.”
Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire also made donations to other Altofts-based sports groups last year, including Altofts Cricket Club l, which offers opportunities for boys and girls from age six, as well as adults, to play cricket.
Altofts AFC which is a community-focused club,established in the early 1890s and is part of the larger Altofts Community Sports Club, also received funding from the housebuilder.
Sam Evans, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey Yorkshire, said: “We are committed to supporting grassroot sports as they play such a vital role in bringing communities together, and we especially want to support groups and organisations where we are building.”
