## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
The charity has had a positive year back since the pandemic, the donations and events have started up again.
Once again, we were very grateful to receive the CO-OP funding once again. As last year the customers choose us as one of their charities and managed to raise us a wonderful £1609.25. This was used many things such as lots of new sensory toys and floatation mats for those with physical needs. It also helped towards keeping our specialised equipment all serviced and up to date they our swimmers can continue to use the pool safely.
Once again, the Rolls Royce knitting club raised us £105 from knitting us some wonderful Easter bunnies, baskets and chicks which they kindly filled with chocolates so an extra treat for the swimmers and their siblings.
We had a lovely donation made to the charity from one of our wonderful private hire families. They donated £2058.24 for a ceiling tracker hoist for the wet room. This has helped so many families to access swimming and we can’t thank them enough.
The charity is still part of Easy Funding, its wonderful to see so many people still choosing us as for their fund-raising efforts. They have raised us a fantastic £328.90.
As a charity we can’t thank people enough for the support they have given us especially when times are hard, the generosity of people is truly wonderful.
