SAVE OUR SUMMER! I'm a local mum, living in SE5 next to Ruskin Park and am looking to other Lambeth parents for help.
Lambeth Council has cut funding and the hugely popular Ruskin Park paddling pool will remain closed this year unless we urgently raise £5,000.
Today I joined a group of parents in launching a crowdfunding campaign to keep Ruskin Park paddling pool open.
Please spread the word and support us here: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/save-ruskin-park-paddling-pool/
We plan to run the pool on a volunteer led basis and the £5k will be used to cover costs of start of season painting, maintenance, daily chemical testing and regular biological testing.
