Big thank you to Edie, E&H Hird, some anonymous donors and to T&V Livingston for their generous donations to our buy a tile appeal. We really appreciate your support.

As a reminder we are raising funds for a new pool roof and for solar panels. Our target is £500,000 and so far we have raised £210,000 so 40% towards our total.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

Swimming is a fantastic help to mental health so why not come to our affordable public swim sessions and see for yourself. There's no contract, no membership fee, just a simple pay-and-swim. We have adult lane swimming, senior citizen swimming and all age swimming.

The great John Lennon once wrote and sang "Imagine all the people..."

to which we're adding the words:

"...following our page supported our buy-a-tile appeal"!

Yes, we're reminding all our followers about our appeal to raise funds for a new roof and solar panels. Our target is £500k and todate we have reached £210k.

If all 1000 followers on our page bought a £20 tile, our appeal would be £20k better off - imagine that!

We're a volunteer-run registered charity (1188111) who took over the pool in 2019 saving it from closure. But our pool won't be around in 10 years time until we can raise funds for a new roof.

To buy your tile visit www.friendsofnewearswickpool.co.uk/buy-a-tile or to just make a donation visit www.justgiving.com/campaign/new-earswick-pool-transformation-appeal

Thank you for your support.
