​​A Worthing bowler is hoping to find some of her old form after her club raised the money to buy her a bespoke Bowls Royce wheelchair.

Lorraine Allen-Collins was at the top of her game before she had her right leg amputated in 2018 as a result of sports-related injury. As she is profoundly deaf, she is unable to use a Bradshaw bowling wheelchair due to issues with balance, so could not continue without a specially-adapted model.

Worthing Indoor Bowls Club manager Alan Messer arranged for its annual charity fundraiser day in September 2022 to be focused on getting Lorraine Allen-Collins back on to the green and able to bowl.
