Arundel Lido Change for the Community!
We urgently need to provide safe, secure and accessible changing rooms to ensure the future of Arundel Lido. Our old changing huts are no longer fit for use, some have had to be dismantled as unsafe.
About the Project Creator
The Arundel & Downland Community Leisure Trust (ACT) was initially formed in September 2000. ACT was established as a Registered Charity and a Company Limited by Guarantee by early-2002. The stated objects of the Trust are: “To provide a swimming pool and other recreational and leisure facilities for the local community and for visitors to Arundel - in the interests of social welfare, with the object of improving conditions of life and providing specific facilities for those persons who need them because of their age, infirmity, disability, poverty or social economic circumstances”.
It has long been the ambition of the Trustees to provide further recreational and leisure facilities for local people by constructing a new, multi-functional building and operating the site all-year-round. This ambition is now supported by both Arun District Council and Arundel Town Council.
The Lido Extended Activities Plan was accordingly launched (as Project LEAP) in September 2015. Project LEAP reflects the key principles of the “Five Ways to Wellbeing”, which actively promotes people’s wellbeing in the community.
Project LEAP aims to provide an attractive new building at Arundel Lido comprising: A Gym - A Multi-Purpose Hall - An Indoor Café/Snack Bar - Heated Indoor Changing Rooms.
