The future of the last remaining hydrotherapy pool in North East Lincolnshire has been secured thanks to Public Health funding from North East Lincolnshire Council.

 

Situated at Humberston Park School in Grimsby, the pool provides relief to students with conditions and symptoms that cause chronic pain, relieving pain, relaxing and strengthening muscles, and increasing circulation.

A public appeal for funding to secure the future of the facility had been issued in April this year after trustees said that their funding was running out.

Now, thanks to funding from North East Lincolnshire Council’s Public Health team, the future of the pool has been secured.

 

 

Councillor Stan Shreeve, deputy leader of North East Lincolnshire Council and portfolio holder for health, wellbeing and adult social care, said:

“After a recent visit to the school with our Director for Public Health, it was clear that this hydrotherapy pool is a fantastic resource, and one that we cannot afford to lose.

“It’s not often that we are able to step-in in this way to support things like this, but we agreed that the benefit to the community from this pool, and in particular to the children in our area who struggle with very complex needs, means that this is much needed.

“I’m really pleased that we’ve been able to secure its immediate future.”

 

 

Gemma Rylatt, Trustee of The Pool, said:

“I am amazed by the over whelming support we have received from the local community and to be able to partner with Public Health is something that we have always wanted to do. For them to support our fundraising campaign is fantastic.

“We are also grateful for Councillor Shreeve who brought our campaign to the attention Public Health. The fundraising efforts will continue as we need the pool to be a sustainable resource for the community for many years to come. 

“To be able to reach our target in 8 weeks is astonishing.  We thank The Telegraph for the platform their campaign afforded us.”

The pool is open to bookings from members of the public, organisations and community groups. To find out more about booking the facility, call 01472 590 645 or email office@hpark.org.uk.
