## **Carnforth Community Swimming Pool Trustee Report** ## **Year to 31st December 2022** The swimming pool has continued to provide the intended facilities seven days a week with twenty-two primary schools taking swimming and water safety lessons, and otherwise good utilisation by the general public and groups. This has ranged from special swims for mother and baby, Aquafit, over 60’s and groups to include under water hockey. Trustee meetings have taken place at the end of each quarter, when charity finances in particular have been reviewed. These were considered to be healthy through 2022, with “Our Money” at month ends absorbing unforeseen costs and holding at £36,300 average above the £30k sinking fund. It was noted subject to accountant figures, that the Pool made a profit of around £8,000, which is to be used for more equipment such as floats and some essential maintenance, but in particular to go towards training new lifeguards and teachers. Utilities costs in particular affect profitability and the electricity supplier was changed in Nov22 from BES to Northern Gas and Power for more competitive rates, and with gas locked in until 2025 at a very good fixed cost of 6.6p/kWh. Insurance costs at £9,746 are on the increase but still considered to be reasonable, given all that it covers. Trustee Liam Law resigned, and we are to approach Hayley Clarke, Head of the Carnforth ICC health groups as a potential replacement.
