Erskine Veterans Charity Partnership News

"We are excited to announce that Bowls Scotland’s official charity partner, Erskine Veterans Charity, has agreed to continue partnering with us on our monthly E-Newsletter for the next 12 months.

Our E-Newsletter was first launched in June 2016 and has since grown to have over 3,600 subscribers. The E-Newsletter provides monthly roundups of key information to our clubs and members with the latest news from Bowls Scotland and our partners.

As Scotland’s foremost provider of care for Veterans and their spouses, Erskine provides unrivalled nursing, residential and dementia care. The Veterans Village Activity Centre offers a wide range of both social and sporting activities for Veterans to take part in as part of their rehabilitation.

Throughout the last year, bowling clubs in Scotland have managed to raise an amazing £26,526 for Erskine.

Delighted by this new partnership deal, Erskine’s Head of Fundraising and MarComms, Sara Bannerman, said: “Erskine is delighted to continue its partnership with Bowls Scotland on their monthly E-Newsletter.

 “The E-Newsletter has proved to be an excellent platform for us to reach out to Bowls Scotland members with news and stories from our Veterans. Support from bowling clubs has increased by 60% since we partnered with Bowls Scotland, raising almost £50,000 to date.

 “We look forward to another record breaking year in 2024.”

Bowls Scotland Chair, Kim Walker, added: “I am pleased that Erskine will continue to support our monthly E-Newsletter as we look to further enhance our healthy relationship over the next 12 months.

 “Erskine is the finest Veterans charity in Scotland and since we partnered up in June 2022, it has been extremely pleasing to see many of our clubs support Erskine with generous donations.

 “Our partnership has also played a key role in welcoming a number of new players into our wonderful and inclusive sport. I hope this continues to be the case for many years to come.”
