Support Your Lido
Run by local people as a charity* since 2004, and without the core public funding available to most outdoor swimming pools, The Lido is reliant upon the generous support of the public to maintain this treasured facility. Over the years the Trustees have increased income and controlled costs, but as we recover from the impact of the pandemic, we are now faced with exceptionally high and unpredictable price rises beyond our control for gas, electricity and chemicals.
We very much appreciate any and all contributions to help us .
*Registered charity no: 1113869

VOLUNTEERING
The Lido is managed by a committee of voluntary trustees, supported by other valued volunteers, who help out with the pre-season clean-ups and/or at our fundraising events. If you would like to be a trustee or could volunteer to help in any way, we’d love to hear from you. If you are short of time but would otherwise like to feel involved in The Lido, you can become a Member, so you have voting rights at our AGMs etc. Again, please do get in touch.
