We want to enable the creation of step-less access into the pools. We are working hard on finding ways to do that. We are a not-for-profit organisation and any surplus funds will be reinvested into the area and community initiatives.
Vive La Vallette LBG is a not-for profit organisation. Any surplus funds created at The Bathing Pools café will be reinvested back into the facilities and community focused initiatives.
We are working with and listening to other local charities, community groups and schools and have exciting plans in the pipeline. Current associations and initiatives are being developed with the Guernsey Sports Commission, the Health Improvement Commission, Guernsey Mind, Arts for Impact, Bright Beginnings, The Youth Commission, Guernsey’s primary schools and many others.
It is important that we understand and support the natural environment surrounding The Bathing Pools. We have consulted organisations with extensive knowledge in this area and will provide focus for our community to learn more about the flora and fauna of the area and our local marine life.
