4887 Cleveland Pools Fundraiser

The Cleveland Pools Trust Ltd have received a funding award from HLF to develop the exciting project of re-opening the existing outdoor Georgian bathing Pool in Bath, which was originally built in 1815. The site is listed grade II* and is part of the Bath World Heritage Site. The site was last used for swimming in the mid 1980’s and is thought to be the oldest purpose designed Lido in the UK, possibly Europe. The project has evolved from the efforts of a committed local group who have fought to bring the site back into use as a naturally water treated open air swimming facility to serve the local community, adding a new dimension to Baths tourist offer away from the core of the City.

The Cleveland Pools Trust seeks an experienced and well qualified professional fundraiser to develop and manage its programme to raise £450k partnership funding between January and October 2016. The funds will go towards a £3.7m stage II grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund earmarked towards the restoration of the Cleveland Pools site as an open air, naturally water treated community swimming pool. The total project cost is currently estimated to be £4.3m. Around £150k funding has already been secured as pledges or cash donations.
