Settle Area Swimming Pool

With continuing concerns about the spread of coronavirus, we have concluded it would not be possible to restart the collection of wastepaper and cardboard in a way that is safe both for volunteers and those delivering materials. The situation will be reviewed again at the start of September.

In the meantime we are looking for new volunteers to help when it is safe to resume. Many of the existing volunteers are in vulnerable groups and whilst many are willing to start work again as soon as it is safe to do so there are still a number of gaps that need to be filled. Anyone interested in helping should contact Ian Gray   ianandmargaretgray@hotmail.com  01729 822465.

The further review will take account of the price we receive for the paper and card collected. This had fallen to virtually nothing last winter and whilst it has been high during the lockdown due to lack of supplies it is now falling again.

Our charity shop is situated at 3 Duke Street, next to the Golden Lion - why not pop in and have a browse?

Its opening hours are 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Saturday.

Volunteers to serve in the shop and sort goods are always appreciated, so please call the pool if you would like to offer any of your time.

Donations of goods to sell are also always welcome and much appreciated. These can be accepted at the shop or at the pool itself.

In the 9 months from April to December 2019 the shop raised an amazing £46,078. This money will be used to support the day-to-day running of Settle Pool as well as contributing towards improved facilities.

Many thanks to all our volunteers, customers and donors.

As an approved Royal Life Saving Society training centre we have in-house trainers and assessors who, on top of keeping our staff up-to-date with their qualifications, run courses to enable people to gain the qualification to become a lifeguard.
