Welcome to the Friends of Bowley
What is the friends of Bowley?
With almost 60 years of adventure under our belt, it’s no wonder that Bowley holds a special place in the hearts of many across the UK and abroad.
The Friends of Bowley has been set up to give people who want to continue supporting Bowley a way of doing so, without necessarily being part of our volunteer team (although you’re more than welcome to do that too!)
The Friends of Bowley will aim to get together at least once a year and their fundraising efforts will go directly towards funding capital projects at Bowley to continue developing Bowley for years to come.
Become a Friend
It costs just £10 a year to be a Friend of Bowley and as well as an annual meet up once a year, you’ll also receive a limited edition enamel badge and regular newsletters with updates on developments and news from Bowley. We also offer a lifetime membership.
Join our 500 Club
All the funds raised through our 500 Club will go directly to developing Bowley through capital projects. At the same time it gives our Friends the chance to win a monthly prize, equivalent to a minimum of 50% of all 500 Club membership subscriptions for that month.
Make a donation
Every donation helps us deliver amazing experiences to young people. Whether you want to donate a one-off amount or donate regularly, your kind donations will go directly to supporting the development of Bowley.
Let's get together
Great things happen when good people get together. Our annual Friends of Bowley meetup will take place alongside our Annual General Meeting. For more information, make sure you’re registered to be a ‘Friend’ and check your newsletter.
