Freeways Hydrotherapy pool provides a fantastic service to many people across the region and for many this is a vital need in order to maintain their health and wellbeing or to recover from ill health or injury.
Hydrotherapy pools are expensive to run with increased fuel costs and significant maintenance costs to ensure the environment and the specialist equipment which allows access for all is safe.
In order to keep our prices as low as possible, we have decided to run a gofundme page to raise money to support the running costs and to improve the equipment to allow as many people as need the pool to be able to afford it.

A comprehensive team of managers, engineers, electricians and maintenance staff have worked effortlessly for the past three weeks in order to determine the underlying fault and we have been advised that we are required to purchase and install brand new pumps, pipe work and work on the pool gullies to get us back up and running.
As a charitable organisation, we rely on support from the public in order to keep our service running from a financial perspective and have worked very hard as an organisation to subside our sessions so that our clients can continue to access the vital services and input that they require in order to optimise their health, wellbeing and quality of life. As a result of these efforts, we do not currently have access to the sum of funds which we need in order to undertake this essential work on our pool system. We have kindly been loaned the required funds to undertake the essential work that was needed in order to re-open our pool however we are now asking for your kind support to raise funds so that we can continue to provide our specialist service to the local community!
