Volunteers are the lifeblood of our sport. In support of this we offer a range of bursaries to help club volunteers looking to develop their skills in coaching, greens maintenance, safeguarding and umpiring. We are undertaking a review of all bursaries to ensure that this funding has the maximum impact on our sport in future. We advise that no applications will be supported until the review has been completed.
Bowls England’s Safeguarding Bursary assists members of affiliated clubs and county officials wishing to attend a recognised safeguarding course.
Recognised courses include:
- Safeguarding & Protecting Children (UK Coaching/NSPCC)
- Safeguarding in Bowls ‘Time to Listen’ (Coach Bowls)
- Adult Safeguarding in Bowls (Coach Bowls)
Bowls England will reimburse all successful applicants 50 per cent of the relevant course fee. The bank transfer/cheque will be made payable directly to the affiliated club OR county association that is supporting the application. Payment will be made when the applicant has successfully completed the training and completes this form attaching a copy of the invoice and relevant certificate (payments will not be processed without these supporting documents). Should you have any queries regarding the eligibility of a course please contact Bowls England on 01926 334609 or e‐mail: enquiries@bowlsengland.com
Please note due to expected demand only one application for a safeguarding bursary per year (ending 30th September annually) will be supported per affiliated club or county association. The decision of the Bowls England awarding panel on all applications will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
