๐Ÿ’™ Volunteer's Week ๐Ÿ’™

Itโ€™s Volunteer's Week and we want to say a huge thank you to the incredible volunteers who help make Birtley Community Pool possible.

As a charity-run community pool, we could not do what we do without the dedication, commitment and generosity of our volunteers.
From our welcoming Reception Volunteers to our lifesaving Lifeguard Volunteers and our Practical Task Volunteers who work behind the scenes maintaining our facilities.

We would also like to give special recognition to our Trustees. As volunteers themselves, they dedicate countless hours behind the scenes, giving their time, expertise and leadership to oversee the charity, support our staff and volunteers, and help ensure a sustainable future for the pool. Much of their work goes unseen, but their commitment is vital to the continued success of Birtley Community Pool, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they do.

Every hour volunteered helps us provide an important community facility for local people.

To all our volunteers, past and present, thank you. Your support and commitment make a real difference, and Birtley Community Pool would not be what it is today without you.

Please join us in celebrating and thanking our amazing volunteers during Volunteers' Week. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’™
