As ever, there’s never a dull moment at Moseley Road Baths, and the usual combination of ‘hands on’ and big picture thinking continues to keep us on our toes. Over this last year, the CIO has benefited from the skills and energy of the new trustees appointed a year ago, with all of our new recruits contributing hugely to working groups and really getting stuck in. We were also especially happy to be joined by a bunch of new lifeguarding volunteers during our final months, including Abbie, Ale, Alex, Anton, Chloe, Dylan, Dolby, Gian, Harrison, Hassan, Hussain, Ken, Khadeeja, Paniz, Safa, Sam, Thomas, and Yibo. Our Reception and Administration Coordinator, Manon, also became a qualified lifeguard and worked tirelessly alongside our volunteers to ensure that the pool stayed open. It was really great to have their enthusiasm and dedication to their roles. All of these new lifeguards had a huge impact during our final months of swimming, bringing enthusiasm and dedication to their roles and having an amazingly positive impact on our small staff team. In late spring of 2024, we said farewell to the remaining small team of project and core staff who reached the ends of their contracts - we are enormously proud of and grateful to them for their contributions to the future of the Baths. Despite the ongoing challenges that go with a major building project, we’re excited about the future and look forward to keeping our supporters up to date as the project progresses. We are hugely grateful to our community of swimmers, participants, staff, volunteers, partners and funders for their ongoing support. _Lucy Reid, Chair, Moseley Road Baths CIO_ 4 The Year in Numbers This Year In Numbers 25 Women's Discos April 2023-March 2024 Eid Party 1761 BeActive Swims Building Tours Lifeguard Courses 35 Slipper Baths 873 Swim School Lessons Monthly Musi Takeovers ## **Pool Operations** ## **Closing Well** With last year's temporary closure behind us and the new calorifiers installed to heat our pool water working more efficiently than our previous system, we were finally able to focus on swimming without worrying about yet another failure of our ageing steam boiler! Our Be Active swim sessions continued to be some of the most popular sessions each week, enabling us to offer free swimming to some of the most disadvantaged members of our local communities with 1761 swims taking place in just six months. Two sessions per week were available for swimmers with disabilities, both visible and invisible, and there was also a separate mindful swim for those wishing to work on their mental health. We were also able to continue to offer a free swim for men only and for women only with a commitment to provide female lifeguards for women-only sessions. Through funding from Sport Birmingham, our free Healing Waves sessions continued and these gentle therapeutic movement classes helped support participants' with both their physical and mental health. Our Active Communities-funded women only Chat & Splash group also continued with English language and reading classes followed by a free swim. We trialled some new sessions including reduced price deep end swimming during school lesson times. This was a regular part of our timetable pre-covid and meant that we could offer people on low incomes an opportunity to swim at a price that was affordable. There was also an opportunity to get splashing with our new parent/guardian and toddler sessions led by an experienced and fully qualified instructor and intended to provide an enjoyable and secure experience in the water. In August 2023, we teamed up with Fatt Projects to throw our first Big Fatt Pool Party. Hosted by local legend and amateur aqua aerobics instructor Ginny Lemon and featuring performances from Mama Mamba and pool party beats from DJ Just Soriah, there were two 90-minute sessions of wet and wild wonder! A judgement-free inclusive pool party for all body types to enjoy in comfort, the sessions were pro-fat, pro-femme, pro-trans, pro-disabled, anti-racist and pro-fabulous. During July, August and September 2023 we introduced our first Monthly Music Takeovers, inviting both well-established and emerging DJs, music producers and promoters to take over the pool for a series of unforgettable events. Kickstarting the series was Gravitational Waves, a collaboration between Birmingham's Leon Trimble, Wet Sounds and Glasgow University that placed art side by side with science and gave swimmers the opportunity to be in and under the water listening to the Gravity Synth and feeling in tune with the way gravitational waves travel through the universe. The second event in the series featured Shelley from Love Hertz, Leaf Creative Arts and Brum Radio for some water themed, splash-tastic tropical sounds to make your heart swim. The final session of the series was a celebration of 10 years of the Getting Away With It, a night with an electric atmosphere, pulsating energy and the undulating waves of New Wave, post-punk 80's and early 90's alternative and synth pop – not to mention night swimming with floating lights. The number of children attending our swim school lessons rose slowly as the year went on and we were able to offer our own summer crash courses again over the summer. Manon, our administrator, played an essential role in supporting Anji Page, the swim school coordinator, to rebuild our learn to swim programme – dealing with enquiries, making bookings and freeing up 6 Anji's time to focus more on children's lessons. Our women-only adult lessons also continued to be popular with lessons running twice per week and demand far outstripping availability. We continued to work with Diamond Swim Academy to offer additional swim lessons each week, a partnership that has existed since Moseley Road Baths CIO first took over the operation of swimming in April 2018. John's Aqua Aerobics classes also continued into their fifth year with the CIO with a loyal and committed following. We were also proud to remain the home of Moseley Shoals, Birmingham's QLGBT+ swim group, which has been in existence for over 20 years and has actively supported the CIO to keep the pool open as an asset for the whole community. Unfortunately, with major building work due to start in October 2023, the CIO was forced to make the decision to close the pool as it became increasingly obvious that it would not be possible to operate swimming while the entire building turned into a construction site. This was the first time we had been able to anticipate a temporary closure and meant that we could concentrate all of our efforts into closing well. Although some of our schools had not returned after the three-month closure over winter 2022/23, many came back to regular swim lessons with some schools booking extra sessions in September to fill all of our available school slots and more children were able to attend swim lessons than was the case before the summer holidays. During our final weekend we offered free swimming sessions to members of the public and finished with some pool parties for our staff and volunteers, a celebration of all of their hard work over the previous four and a half years and a chance to say a fond goodbye for now to swimming at Moseley Road Baths. ## **New Staff** Adam Wynn, Operations Manager after the covid lockdowns, rejoined us on a temporary basis to help out during our final six months of pool activities. In addition to ensuring that the pool timetable 7 was filled and booking in schools for our last month of operation, Adam also organised three NPLQ courses, two mixed and one women only, to ensure that we had enough lifeguards to keep the pool open for swimming. Through Adam's contacts at Birmingham University, we were joined during their summer holiday by a few new casual paid lifeguards, Freddie and Maddie, both students at UoB. Also, following our NPLQ courses, we had a huge influx of new lifeguard volunteers including Abbie, Ale, Alex, Anton, Chloe, Dylan, Dolby, Gian, Harrison, Hassan, Hussain, Ken, Khadeeja, Paniz, Safa, Sam, Thomas, and Yibo. Our Reception and Administration Coordinator, Manon, also became a qualified lifeguard and worked tirelessly alongside our volunteers to ensure that the pool stayed open. All of these new lifeguards had a huge impact during our final months of swimming, bringing enthusiasm and dedication to their roles and having an amazingly positive impact on our small staff team. ## **Maintenance** Although our ageing steam boiler system continued to pose occasional problems, these were only temporary and the new calorifiers - installed in February 2023 and paid for by Birmingham City Council – proved to be far more efficient than the previous ones and we were able to keep the pool warm and full of swimmers. These boilers are due to be removed during phase 1 of the major renovation works with Levelling Up Funding from the UK government. The building also benefited from having Richard Ardern, our Facilities Assistant, onsite to carry out day to day repairs and make some small maintenance improvements which helped to streamline our swim operation – including training to help backwash the filters, replacing broken locks, and tidying up previously unused areas of the building. 8 Our wonderful staff and volunteers A- 11 -VovHAvÈLONG￿￿￿R, (￿￿V5¥Y1Elft￿ ## **Reaching Communities** ## **Activities 2023/24** Between April 2023 and March 2024, we welcomed 5013 people to our programme of health and wellbeing activities and pop-op cultural events funded through our National Lottery Reaching Communities funded programme. Regular weekly wellbeing activities continued to be well attended and included floristry, Drum 'n' Bounce, Yoga for All, Loud Fish music lessons for children, archery, and disco – a lunchtime dance session for women over 50. With the installation of Balsall Heath’s Living Room in June 2023, some activities were able to continue in the manager's flat at first before relocating back to the gala pool and running within the installation. However, a few sessions were unable to continue, including Loud Fish and archery, although the organiser was able to partner with a local organisation to continue the sessions elsewhere. In addition to regular weekly activities, we were able to provide free space to Anna Newman so that she could offer free breathwork sessions to help improve people's physical and mental health and wellbeing. Narcotics Anonymous and Foundations to Change hired space to offer support sessions to those recovering from drugs and alcohol. There was also an opportunity to try skipping! We were thankful that we could rely on our network of volunteers to help support our regular activities and were able to run a Bridge to Facilitation course, enabling two of our volunteers to begin to run their own free weekly sessions. Nasma and Alice bean toddler's arts and crafts, working both at Balsall Heath Library and at Moseley Road Baths. Our partnership with Inquisitive Explorers led us to run another Young Ambassadors course with 9 young participants holding an open event in which they spoke to an audience of family and friends about the importance of Moseley Road Baths and what it meant to them. While the pool was still open, we were offering two dryside BeActive sessions each week – tai chi and women-only capoeira. Once the building closed at the beginning of October 2023, some of our sessions moved across the Moseley Road as we temporarily shifted our operations to the Old Print Works. This enabled us to offer a new dryside BeActive sessions, Dryland Swimming (no water, no problem!), with exercise to music provided by John Currivan. Healing Waves continued as a new BeActive session with a focus on gentle stretches and movements. Discoteque also became a free BeActive session as did Chat & Splash, becoming Chat & Stretch with exercise classes replacing the previous free swim. In addition to our free BeActive classes, our Places of Welcome sessions continued when our activity relocated to the Old Print Works offering people the chance to have a cuppa and a chat in a warm and inviting space and some of our volunteers began to run their own Knit & Natter classes at the same time. Sadly, the end of March 2024 marked the end of our funding and therefore the end of our regular activities, although a few have continued to run elsewhere. Tai chi has now moved to Stirchley Baths and the weekly women's disco has relocated to The Hive in Moseley. 10 ## **Events and Exhibitions** In addition to our regular weekly sessions, we also offered numerous events and exhibitions throughout the year: - April Fools’ Day: we featured our work with a local animal rescue charity resulting in Ali, Pam, Rod, Ian and Les (team APRIL!) becoming qualified lifeguards. - April also saw a number of events including National Grid, concerts by Amalthea Ensemble, an Easter archery camp, and our first Iftar which was organised by members of our volunteer team. - May featured our first ever Eid celebration, with alpacas and Henna art in the Gala Pool, the launch of the Flatpack Film Festival, a film screening of Cannonball, and a performance of In Her Shoes. - In June there were performances of She Swims and Wata is Life along with a community consultation event for the proposed Balsall Heath Council, tours of the building for Nelson Mandela School, and an event to celebrate our volunteers before the installation of Balsall Heath's Living Room. - July marked the launch of Balsall Heath's Living Room featuring an inflatable Walter the Whale, and major news revealed the plans to restore MRB which would involve renovations from October 2023 until Spring 2025. - August saw the installation of an interactive sculpture, “loop the loop” in Balsall Heath Library, and Open Theatre created a featured performance of “Who’s better than who?” - At the beginning of October, Moseley Road Baths closed for renovations, an opportunity to celebrate the success of years of campaigning and volunteering to keep the building open and have a positive farewell party! - In November, the Exchange Festival took place in Moseley School of Art including creative sessions and performance from a number of groups including Amal Creative. - Performances of a new play “The Saving of Moseley Road Baths”, produced in partnership with Women in Theatre, were held in March. 11 The Year in Photos WALTER WHALE SAiJiNG M•sELEY R•AD 12 vs BATHCASTS TRAIL STUT rv MOSEIX ROAD 13 We are grateful to everyone who has dedicated time, energy and enthusiasm to keeping the Baths alive and open to the public, including our staff, volunteers, the Friends of MRB and, of course, all the swimmers. 15 ## **Financial Statements** **Trustees:** Lucy Reid (Chair) Kat Cleverley Sophie Curtis Joe Holyoak Diana Jones Grace Maher Nicola McGowan Ruth Miller Hamda Ibrahim Mohammed Kathryn Pearson Rebecca Pendlebury Peter Richmond Mohammed Sajid Simon Stirling **Statutory information** Registered charity number: 1176432 Moseley Road Baths 497 Moseley Road Balsall Heath Birmingham B12 9BX 16 REGisfERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1176432 Report of the Trustees and Unaudlted Flnanclal Statwnents for the Perlod Ended 31 Paarch 2024 REGISTERED CHARrrY NUM8ER: 1176432 Contents of the Flnan¢lal Statements for the perk￿ Ended 31 March 2024 Contents of the Finandal statem￿ts Report of the TnBtees Report ofthe Indeperthtt Examlner Baknce SP Notes to the Fh)ancial stst￿nts 10-14 REGisfERED CHARrrY NUMBER: 1176432 R•port of th• Truste for the P¢rlod Ended 31 March 2024 The trustees wesent their ffjport with the finanryal Statem￿ of ts charity for the period ended 31 March 2024.
