Some partnerships have a very personal connection. This one starts with Charlotte’s mum, Bev. 💚
For 50 years, Walkington Bowling Club has brought people together in an East Yorkshire village. One of its bowlers is Bev, mum to our founder and CEO, Charlotte Borghesi.
So when the club turned 50, Dubai showed up for Walkington.
Kidzink’s sponsorship helped make a whole season of celebrations possible. A celebration match against a Bowls England team. A complimentary dinner for 80 at the Village Hall. Prizes and special touches at a summer lunch for 60. Cream teas, afternoon teas, and a Ladies versus Men “Ashes” to round off the season.
And the generosity reached beyond the green. The club contributed to the Village Hall, raised £ for Dove House Hospice, and set aside funds for at least two mature trees around the village pond a legacy intended to grow beyond this anniversary year.
Niki, who helped bring it all together, put it beautifully: “I have certainly made sure it stretched a long way and that every member benefited one way or another.”
At Kidzink, we design spaces where people learn, grow and belong. This little corner of Walkington reminds us what belonging looks like: familiar faces, a shared game, and a reason to come together.
To Bev, Niki, John Dunn with his beautiful hanging baskets, and every member and volunteer who made this year special: thank you.
Happy 50th, Walkington. Here’s to the friendships that keep growing. 💚
