TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The charity has been put on hold a little bit this year so fundraising and donations been low. We have managed to use charity funds for a new hoist in the wet room which has been super. This has enabled more swimmers to use the pool as were struggling with technical problems with the last hoist.

There has been a little bit ok knitting going on with some Easter chicks and bunnies, once again being done by Lorraine. Our swimmers love these and are sold very quickly!

Aquathlete helped with a donation towards the hoisted, this was £1000 so a big thank you to them.
