Please Vote For Farnborough Fins!
We are in a voting race for funding of £25,000 to help us with the renovation at Kings! Yesterday we slipped from second to third place - the 2 projects with the most votes wins the funding! We need your help to put us in the lead in order to secure the funding needed to save the swimming pool at Kings International College.
Farnborough Fins Swimming Club is replacing the enclosure over the swimming pool at Kings International College over the summer holidays to prevent the pool from closing. We are applying for funding to enable us to put down a rubberised safety surround on poolside and through the changing rooms and also purchase a disabled hoist enabling children and adults with more severe disabilities to enjoy this facility. If you’d like to know more about our project, there are lots of pictures and further information at the following links:-

FFSC is a non-profit making club so monies generated from lessons have already been used to update the plant for the swimming pool at Kings International College, run free Get Safe for Summer classes and allowed us to give free pool time to a number of local schools, disabled and community groups, who could otherwise not swim.
Replacing the enclosure and pipework at Kings is obviously very expensive so having our application approved is great news! But there’s still a way to go – 2 projects receive the funding but this depends entirely on the public vote, which is now open! Please help us secure the funding by going to our project page here:
www.engagemutual.com/foundation/projects/save-our-swimming-pool/
and voting for us.
* Alternatively, please email us with your email address and a mobile number and we will register on your behalf. All you then have to do is open the link which will be emailed to you. We will do the rest!!!
If you’d be interested in helping us spread the word further, or if you know anyone who might want to vote for our project, please pass the information on to them - the more people who know about it, the better – and you’d be helping a really great cause.
Thank you so much for your help.
Best wishes,
Farnborough Fins Swimming Club
