We’ve made it – 6 months open!
After the closure of the pool by Gateshead Council, our amazing community came together, fought hard, and brought it back to life. Thanks to the efforts of dedicated volunteers, a successful asset transfer, and a lot of hard work, the pool has officially been reopened for 6 months under the charity Birtley Community Aquatic Centre.
We’ve refurbished the slide, installed brand new lighting, upgraded the boilers, and brought in a super fun inflatable obstacle course that’s been a massive hit with families!
To keep building on this momentum, we’re fundraising to add five more segments to the obstacle course so we can create a new U-shape layout — bringing more variety, more fun, and more reasons to visit. We’re just £2,500 away from making it happen!
Check out this lovely feature by Daily Motion to hear more from our team and see what’s been going on behind the scenes.
If you can, please donate or share our GoFundMe — every little bit helps!
