Fundraising appeal

We need your help!

We are delighted to have reached our initial fundraising target of £50k to replace our old and failing boilers. We are so grateful to everyone who came together to help us meet this goal.

 

This is part of an overall target of £250,000 and we have a long way to go to being able to modernise the pool, replace the leaking roof, install solar panels and refurbish the changing rooms. This will require a lot of planning and will take a long time.

We are calling on the support of everyone who swims at the pool, or has done so in the past, to help us raise the funds needed to make these much needed improvements to the pool. Thousands of children have learned to swim at the pool, many making lifelong friends with happy memories. You can help to ensure more have the opportunity to do so by donating to our campaign.

Ways you can support the campaign

You can help us reach our fundraising target by:

  • Making an online donation

  • Sending a cheque, payable to "Friends of New Earswick Swimming Pool" to FoNESP c/o 3 Meadowfields Drive, York YO31 9HW

  • Sharing the campaign on social media

  • Joining our charity lottery or shop using EasyFundraising

  • Organising a charity event or collection (e.g. cake sale, sponsored event)

Thank you - every little bit does really help!
