The Bath Boules Trust seeks to distribute funds raised to as many worthy causes as possible and over the years has granted donations to over 70 local charities including: Julian House,
Dorothy House, Carer's’ Centre, Freewheelers, Mind Bath, Jessie May, The RUH Forever Friends Appeal, Off the Record, National Osteoporosis Society, Genesis Trust, Designability, Age UK, Bath Rugby Foundation, Mentoring Plus, BRLSI, Southside, Three Ways School, First Steps Bath, Action on Hearing Loss, Goldies, Developing Health & Independence, RICE and many more.
Without sponsors and players this level of giving simply wouldn’t be possible.
Charities are encouraged to request a grant from the Trust at any time for their consideration. The Trustees then grant funds for specific projects or equipment that is really going to make a difference and can be anything from a few pounds to thousands, depending on what’s required.
The Bath Boules Trust owns the Bath Boules and is a registered charity (number 1071273) which administers all funds raised from the event. The charity’s trustees are: Celia Mead (Chair), Philip Addis, Stephanie Dodd, Lizzie Heffer, Nicole Howse and George Samios.
