In our Community

Please see below for our work which we have contributed to our local community.

HAPPI
We support the Haslingden All People’s Pool Initiative (HAPPI), to raise money for Haslingden Baths. In 2015/16 we raised a total of £5600 with our sponsored ‘Run to Swim’ event. Some of the volunteers from Team HAPPI visited school to receive a cheque for the fundraising total and we received a lovely thank you for our support:

“HAPPI would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents, carers and young people for getting involved and collecting sponsorship. We really appreciate your hard work and dedication to our project and hope we can continue to work together to reopen Haslingden Baths! We look forward to seeing you come along for a swim once we reopen our pool.  Kind regards from all of us at team HAPPI”.
