Local Grants help senior sports thrive
For over a century, the Ōtorohanga Bowling Club has been a hub for local sports lovers, especially seniors.
Thanks to Lotto NZ’s Local Grants funding, the club merged with the local croquet club, revitalising its future.
With members averaging 80 years old, it offers a space to stay active, socially connected, and enjoy bowls and croquet.
Lottery funding supports maintenance, repairs, and water costs, helping the club thrive despite rising expenses.
Beyond sports, it fosters community through events and volunteer efforts. Every Lotto NZ game played helps fund community grants, supporting clubs like Ōtorohanga.
