Railway Bowls Club in Scunthorpe is undergoing a major extension that will provide members and visitors with more modern and accessible facilities.
The project is backed by a £30,000 grant from North Lincolnshire Council’s Community Grant Fund. The refurbishment includes new toilets and a kitchen, designed to make the clubhouse more practical for both sport and social use.
The improvements aim to strengthen the club’s role as a community hub, providing a space suitable not only for bowls matches but also for wider gatherings and events.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is a really exciting development for Railway Bowls Club and the wider community. The new facilities will make the clubhouse more welcoming and practical, encouraging more people to get involved in the sport and enjoy the social side of club life.”
Since its launch in 2011, the Community Grant Fund has supported a diverse range of local projects, including sports clubs, youth groups, and charities. Funding has helped improve venues, develop new facilities, and keep community spaces active.
Railway Bowls Club, located off Church Lane, is the latest to benefit, with work now underway on a scheme intended to secure the future of the club as both a sporting and social focal point in the area.
