A Registered Australian Charity supporting our heroes at the local bowlo - embracing the power of community and Peer Support toward better mental and physical health. Our group is passionate about helping people, and passionate about finding positive solutions to the ever-increasing rates of suicide and self-harm in Australia. We believe this can be done through the sport of bowls. Bowls is a spor
t that includes the below elements that are proven to be pathways to better mental and physical health:
● Physical Exercise
● Reintegration into the social environment
● Targeted and directed activity that stimulates brain function
● Engaging in activities that divert the brain’s attention away from distressing thoughts and brings people into the moment
● Learning new skills
BG4B is a peer support group at the local Bowlo, a place where people are introduced to the game of bowls in a friendly and supportive environment, where they can enjoy a cup of tea, learn about the game of lawn bowls, and perhaps make new friends along the way. Our program is inclusive, accessible and free to the community. Our groups meet at least twice monthly.
