🌟 Celebrating Our Amazing Volunteers 🌟

This week is Volunteers’ Week, and we would like to say a huge thank you to all of our amazing volunteers at Buckfastleigh Open Air Pool - Victoria Park.

From helping with maintenance and gardening, supporting fundraising events, assisting behind the scenes, helping day to day in reception, serving on the Trustee Board, and giving up their time in so many other ways, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Their dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work help keep our community pool running and make it a welcoming place for everyone to enjoy.

As a charity-run pool, we simply couldn’t do what we do without the support of our volunteers. Every hour given makes a real difference, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they contribute.

Thank you for being part of the Buckfastleigh Pool family and for helping us continue to provide this fantastic community facility. 🌊☀️

💙
