Fantastic News - work has started on our hydrotherapy pool refurbishment ! The last upgrade was 35 years ago so this is very much needed as the pool is in constant use and benefits such a wide group of people of all ages and abilities.

We have the only hydrotherapy pool in North Surrey. Having access to this wonderful resource offers support to nearly 500 children and adults with disabilities and the benefits are life changing from a variety of therapy and rehabilitation programmes that improve movement and flexibility to palliative care to help with pain relief and relaxation.

The new area will include additional changing facilities, accessible doors and windows, and a re-tiled pool with additional sensory features, enhancing the experience for our service users.

There has been an ambitious fundraising strategy to raise the £175,000 needed for the project. We have been fortunate enough to secure a total of £135,000 towards this. The final £40,000 of funding is proving even harder to secure so we are asking for any help from individuals, community groups, local companies and organisations who would like to support this exciting and essential refurbishment project that will help ensure our service users have access to a world that is inclusive regardless of their ability.

The pool is the beating heart of White Lodge and work should be completed by mid March and we can't wait to see how great it will look!
