Projects
Cool stuff we have done.
$2 Pool
The “$2 Pool” arose from a need for the children of the New Brighton area to have access to a swimming pool. We received funding to operate over the summer months with a full time Manager for the last 3 years.
We operated outside of school hours – and full time over weekends and during the school holidays. The “$2 Pool” attracted over 8000 visits.
