There is a new activity for people taking part in Forever Fit sesions at Warsop Health Hub thanks to the donation of a portable crown green bowls mat, and four sets of bowls, by Cornwater Evergreens.

The charity, which has a base in Ravenshead and charity shop in Mansfield, provides companionship, activities and other essential services for older adults.

Forever Fit sessions, which provide a range of activities, run every Wednesday, from 11am to 1pm to any age group.

Peter Dickson, chief executive officer at the charity, said: “We are thrilled that the bowls kit is being enjoyed by the community at the Warsop Health Hub.

“It’s heartening to know that our contribution is helping to promote physical activity and social engagement, which are key values we hold at Cornwater Evergreens.”

Carolyn Hallam, health and wellbeing manager for More Leisure Community Trust, which operates the health hub, added: “We’re grateful to Cornwater Evergreens for the donation. Bowls is a difficult game to master, but an easy game to have a go at, which makes it ideal for people of all abilities.

“It’s been great to see so many people try this sport for the first time.

“If you’re interested in attending our Forever Fit sessions at Warsop Health Hub, just drop in on a Wednesday.”
