Who are we?

Belmont Grosvenor School is a small, rural school in Birstwith, Harrogate. 

Why are we crowdfunding?

We are fundraising to pay for maintenance and repairs to our community swimming pool. 

Children from Tree Tops to Year Six will be taking part in our first ever BGS Triathlon to play their part in raising funds for our swimming pool.  

How we’ll spend the money raised

Money raised will be used to fund maintenance works, refurbish the changing rooms and the installation of new showers. 

Community impact

Our swimming pool is enjoyed by our youngest children in Magic Tree Nursery, along with all our school aged children from Reception to Year Six. We have a number of swimming schools who teach children all year round in our facilities, alongside a number of local schools and community groups who benefit from our facilities. Home to many galas, parties and celebrations our swimming pool is a firm favourite with our whole school and the local community. 

How you can play your part

There are four simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.

1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success!

2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.

3. Offer rewards. Get involved if you are a local business by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!

4. Fundraise for us. If you want to run your own fundraiser – maybe a sponsored activity or similar – use the 'contact project' button at the top of our page to let us know. Setting up your own page only takes a few minutes and you won’t need any bank details. Just a fun idea!
