CLEVELAND POOLS TRUST 

Cleveland Pools Trust was formed to restore and re-open the oldest surviving open air public swimming baths in the UK, open in Bath by 1817. The Trust was awarded Heritage Lottery Funding in December 2018, and hope to be on-site in 2022 with an opening date of Spring 2023. A 150 year lease has being negotiated with the property owners, Bath and North East Somerset Council.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £8,106,467 available, equivalent to 734 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
