Iʼve raised £30 to help develop our croquet lawns so we can offer more sessions to groups including those with disability.

Story
We are a village based croquet club with members partaking in both league matches and social play. Our lawns are currently not of a suitable standard and do not allow us to offer the opportunity to play croquet to all we would wish.
We need to develop our current small lawns to 2 full size lawns which will increase the opportunity for croquet play within the club and the local community.
Work is planned to start in September 2017 so pressure is on to raise a large amount of money.
All donations we get, however small, will be appreciated!
We offer social sessions to local groups and organisations. Many of these participants are of retirement age; they comment that croquet provides them with exercise, mental stimulation and social contact. Some players with disability have said it is the only sport they can participate in. Older people attending these sessions say they help reduce their social isolation whilst they are enjoying an activity that provides gentle exercise. For some this is the only physical exercise they take.
We are currently unable to offer social sessions to all groups that are interested. Once our development is complete and we have the 2 full size lawns we will be able to increase the use by these groups. We are in touch with a local Parkinson's group but are currently unable to accommodate them. When the development is complete we will be able to offer them and other groups the chance to come and play croquet.
