Fundraising

As a charity, we are constantly fundraising to help maintain and develop Wirksworth Swimming Pool.

Developments

Through a combination of fundraising, donations and bequests and applying for grant funding, we have been able to make considerable improvements to the pool in recent years. These include:

• A new reception area
• A new changing room
• A new entrance covering and buggy shelter
• An accessible toilet and shower facilities
• New windows and cladding throughout the building
• Improvement to the pool surrounds and tiling
• Replacement of all the plant and filtration equipment including a new ultra-violet water system

We are incredibly grateful to all the organisations and individuals who have supported the pool over recent years, and they are recognised on a plaque in our reception area.  Particularly generous donations have been received from John and Sheila Kirkland, and when regular customer Sheila passed away, we received a generous bequest.  In recognition of the importance of her involvement with the pool, Trustees took the decision to rename it as The Sheila Kirkland Community Pool.

Support for future plans

Our next big project will be to replace the roof windows (poolside), as the existing ones are over 40 years old.

Please get involved

As a small charity, with an even smaller team, every bit of help fundraising makes a significant difference. Please make enquiries today about ways you can help.
