WINSCOMBE BOWLING CLUBThe Club's main charity is the Children's Hospice South West. For many years a 'pig' resided on the bar hopefully collecting change from merry drinking members. Unfortunately he got broken so we now have a new pig fullfilling this important role. 
Children's
Hospice South West - Charlton Farm
Charlton Farm is nestled in the
hillside of Wraxall and provides a secluded and beautiful setting in which our
families can take some time out and just enjoy spending time as a
family. Children's Hospice
South West accepts children and families from the South West, from South
Gloucester, Bristol, Somerset, Devon
and Cornwall.
All the children who use the Hospice will
have Life Limiting, or Life Threatening Conditions, which mean that they are not
expected to live into adulthood. Some families may use the hospice for many
years, from the time the child is first diagnosed, they may come for planned
respite, or for emergency care, depending on their needs and the support that
the family request.
