Securing our Lido for the next 90 years
Sandford Parks Lido is appealing to the community to raise funds and contribute towards its sustainable development, specifically a new solar panel car park, which is hoped will generate 93% of its current annual electricity usage.
Sandford Parks Lido is confident that their sustainability programme will ensure the lido remains operational for another 90 years, however, they need investment to deliver on the plans. The lido has already secured grants from Sport England, HM Government, The Lottery Fund and Cheltenham Borough Council, however, it needs to raise an additional £400,000 to complete the solar panel car park project by March 2025. Which is why it is now asking its community of swimmers, individuals and businesses to pledge support to the initiative, in any way that they can.
Get involved and pledge support
Anyone can get involved. From pledging time to complete a sponsored swim challenge or pledging to sponsoring a brick in the new car park, there are numerous ways people can get involved over the next six months.
Julie Sargent, CEO Sandford Parks Lido said:
“This is an exciting opportunity for Cheltenham to get behind the fundraising campaign and pledge their support. I’ve seen first-hand how significantly swimming pools have been impacted by utility increases over the last few years. By pledging support in any way they are able to, our community of lido lovers will be helping us to complete a significant sustainability project which will help reduce these financial pressures and secure our lido for the next 90 years and beyond.”
