The next stage - purchasing an essential winter safety cover, and then improving the old concrete surround with resin to protect tiny feet
THE PATH TO PROJECT COMPLETION - NEW POOL LINER AND SKIMMERS, and now the WINTER COVER
MAY 2024 – DECEMBER 2024: CROWDFUNDING AND APPLYING FOR GRANTS
MARCH 2025 - FINAL GRANT APPROVAL
APRIL 2025 - ENGINEERING WORK AND LINER INSTALLATION
– EXTRA COSTS DUE TO AGE OF POOL
MAY 2025 - POOL OPENING
SEPTEMBER 2025 - WINTER COVER
We need a new Winter Cover to help make the pool safe in winter. To keep the liner firmly against the walls, we do not empty the pool. The cover is also needed to stop debris and leaves from staining the new liner.
PLEASE CAN YOU DONATE TO HELP US RAISE THE MONEY FOR THE WINTER COVER WE NEED?

How we’ll spend the money raised
Pools with a liner need to have a special winter cover - because the pool is left partially filled: This could not be paid for with the funds raised to date.
Community impact
The Pool enables a wide range of users of all ages to swim and stay healthy. For example we provide 5 local schools with the ability to run swimming lessons and host events for a variety of local clubs and groups: These include Mencap, the local Scouts, Beavers and Cubs, church groups, as well as adult keep fit and water polo sessions. A very large number of volunteers look after the facilities and run the pool shop.
