Weʼre raising £5,000 to Bring the Lido back to Bailey Park in Abergavenny
- Abergavenny
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Story
Abergavenny Lido was a great place for everyone to enjoy swimming in the open air all year round, and Abergavenny Council and Monmouth County Council are happy to support our efforts to rebuild the Lido on the original site in Bailey Park.
However, we need to raise a fair bit of money to do this and the first thing to do is get funding for a feasibility study so that all the associated costs can be collated and agreed on.
You can help by contributing to our fund, knowing that all the money raised will go towards building a fabulous new swimming pool that the whole area will benefit from.

Please give generously and also see our Facebook page or our website for further information and updates on progress!
And if you can help in any other ways such as fundraising, surveying, building or professional services we'd love to hear from you as well.
Thanks – and help us make a splash!

Many years spent as a family, school swimming lessons, swimming galas, whole summer days with friends and the ultimate after 6pm crowd. Wagon wheels and crusts were our snacks. Oh yes and the mangle!
