We are a community based charity set up in 2015 to save our local much loved heritage swimming baths form closure. We provide affordable exercise, health, well being, training, employment and social opportunities for the benefit of our entire community.
Donate to this charity
Faced with the closure of our much loved swimming baths, a heritage asset that has been a part of our community since 1911, the people of Withington rallied round to form a charity and take over the running of Withington Baths in 2015.
The community charity has successfully run the Baths ever since and has restored the building to its original architectural glory through a £2.8m restoration project.
The not for profit charity group provides free or affordable exercise, health, well being, educational, training, employment, cultural and social opportunities for the Withington and wider Manchester community.
Every penny raised goes back into the improvement of the facility or the provision of additional activities for the community.
Amongst our current improvement projects we are looking to create a café which will provide a welcome space of friendly interaction for all members of our community. A place which will bring people together over a brew and address the important issue of social isolation and loneliness in society.
We are also looking to create a beautiful new community garden where children can play, parents can chat, older folk can dwell, socialise and relax and a space for food growing for our café, community events and nature to bloom in the heart of city.,
