The Bath Boules is a much-loved local institution, a French game that brings together the community in our City.  

It’s terrific for networking. Bath’s best businesses spending time together in oh-so-gentle competition.  

It’s also terrific for charity. Every year the Bath Boules raises thousands of pounds for local charities. 

To date we’ve raised over £350,000 through the Bath Boules event.  In 2016 alone, a remarkable £41,424.58 was raised, which enabled the Trustees to support over 20 causes.  

Proceeds are distributed each year to great causes and those who have benefited include the hospice charity Dorothy House, Bath Mind who provide services for those living with mental health problems, Off the Record who provide counselling and support for children and young people and many more.  

The Trustees of the Bath Boules are always on the lookout for Bath based charities who are in need of a grant, so if you know of a charity in need please contact: bathboules@gmail.com. 

Our charitable objectives are to spend locally, selecting Bath-based charities for grants from a few hundred pounds to a few thousand.  The final amount raised depends on the generosity of our Sponsors and Partners and how much we are able to raise from the Boules. 

The charity is administered by its Trustees: JP Auge (formerly owner of the Beaujolais and founder of the Boules) Philip Addis, Thomas Sheppard (Thrings), David Gledhill and Nicole Howse (Grosvenor Place Surgery GP).
