About this cause

We are a community group started to help our local school raise much needed funds to ensure that the local swimming pool refurbishments can be completed. To date we have raised £65,000. In 2016 the pool won a sport England bid for improvements, during this work serious structural issues were uncovered which meant our community has been without a pool for 10 months. Our fundraising efforts continue. We need to raise £15,000 to complete the pools changing rooms and replace a pool side hoist that has been condemned - without this there will be no access to disabled swimmers.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Our Pool supports 8 local primary schools to teach swimming, it provides swimming lessons to 400 children, our local swimming club have a para Olympic swimmer and other children that represent us abroad. The elderly in our community use it as a low impact form of exercise, some being recommended exercise on prescription. This pool is key to our community and its health and wellbeing.
