Giving back to our local community
Making a difference
At Witham Mill Lane Bowls Club, we believe in supporting causes that make a real difference to people’s lives. Each year we choose a charity to support through fundraising events. Donations and club activities. We are proud of the difference we’ve made together as a club and community.
Our chosen charity for 2025 & 2026: Dementia UK
About Dementia UK
Since the 1990s, Dementia UK has supported families facing dementia through its specialist dementia nurses, known as Admiral Nurses. Over the years the charity has grown, so that more families can get its life-changing support.
The charity was founded by the family of Joseph Levy, who was affectionately known as ‘Admiral Joe’ because of his love of sailing. Its Admiral Nurses are named in his honour.
Our Charity Fun Days
In both 2025 and 2026, Witham Mill Lane Bowls Club held very successful Charity Fun Days for Dementia UK. Together with our other fundraising, we raised more than £1,000: a truly magnificent sum that reflects the generosity of all our members, friends and guests.
