Poolside @ Saltdean Lido

Good news - we are another huge step forward in securing the Saltdean Lido building. The Heritage Lottery Fund have given us a positive answer in principle to our grant for £4.19 million! There are a couple of conditions that have to be fulfilled. We are in ongoing discussions about this and will keep you posted. Your support through the crowdfunding campaign was fundamental to unlocking this grant - thank you! The overall cost of the project is £6.8m. We have a number of other funding applications in progress and are confident of meeting all requirements. As soon as we have all our funding in place we will begin work. In the meantime, due to expiry dates on your pledges, Spacehive are now going to collect all pledges to the crowdfunding campaign. You will see this money come out of your bank account in the next 5 days. This will be held in a dedicated client account until we have the full £6.8m locked down and are ready to start the restoration. In the event that we do not manage to raise the remaining funds, refunds will be issued to all backers. Hopefully this doesn't come as a surprise, but if you do decide you want to cancel your pledge, get in touch with Spacehive. Thank you again for your support and enjoy the Lido in the sunshine!
