The BDA is a partnership organisation with a core purpose to; 'sustain, grow and develop the sport in partnership with the bowls family.'
Created by the Sport's National Governing Bodies to channel Sport England investments into the sport, the BDA's primary goal is to increase participation in bowls whilst ensuring the sport is inclusive and accessible for all. It champions collaborative working across the sport and works to develop NGB-affiliated clubs and their volunteers, safeguard participants and share best practice.
Bowls is a popular sport with low barriers to entry and opportunities to participate throughout the year. It is a sport that people of all ages and abilities can actively enjoy recreationally through to elite competition. The BDA currently has the reach of 5,000 clubs and 300,000 members across England.
