Bowling Extravaganza 2022 - £500 to Lunch Positive Charity
Over 200 bowlers representing 26 LGBTQ+ organisations gathered at the Bowlplex at the Marina to compete for this year's trophy, the fifteenth year the event has been organised by BLAGSS. To see the venue exclusively used by local LGBTQ+ organisations was a fantastic sight - an ideal time to meet up with old friends and make some new ones.
At this year's event BLAGSS raised £500 for LUNCH POSITIVE
BLAGSS Chair John Moore said "this is a fantastic event that brings the local community together. We are delighted to support LUNCH POSITIVE who provide valuable services for local people”.
Gary Pargeter, Lunch Positive Service Manager said -
Thank you so much to everyone at BLAGSS for staging this wonderful event and the brilliant funds raised for Lunch Positive. Lunch Positive is a small charity that reaches widely and involves many people with HIV. We help in many ways. This fundraising will directly support our emergency food bank and community food provision for people with HIV. This will especially help the development of additional food provision for people with HIV who are insecurely housed, street-homeless, and people experiencing both financial and housing difficulties. These funds raised will have a direct impact on the level of support we provide and the people we reach. We are deeply grateful.
