We have been made aware that there are rumours circulating from ill informed and frankly malicious people on this page and other Cleethorpes pages..
The paddling pool has been refurbished this year running into the £1,000's (already reached £12,000 mostly on plant room materials pumps pipes filters.) no money has been received from any external organisation, no grant funding for the pool has been received, despite ill informed people stating we have, this has been funded by the careful planning of our business and the free time we dedicate to keep the pool open as much as possible.
Not that we should have to justify to anyone our our business and commitment to the community.
The pool has been open in the last 5 years the longest hours each season, we have given 110% to keep the pool open, at great costs and no cost to the community, we've received an enormous amount of backlash and hate for our actions in keeping a free to use paddling pool open.
Quite frankly some of the comments are disgusting, outrageous and certainly not becoming of grown adults, but alas we live in a world where adults can act like children behind a keyboard, it makes it very hard not to retaliate to comments, but the vast majority of face to face contact we have is very positive and the work that we do and don't shout about because we don't need to pulls us through each day knowing we are making a difference to peoples lives in a positive manner.
In relation to the grant funding that has been mentioned in various comments, we have secured a grant yet to be paid, this will part fund the sandpit project which project costs currently stand at £24,000.
The Grant is around £14,000 (we wont split hairs over a few £100) we have to contribute 10% towards this, now you don't have to a be a mathematician to do the sums and work out we are contributing well over 70%.
So next time you feel the urge to type a malicious, rude, or blatant lie on social media why not get off your couch and make a difference in your community like we do.......................but that would be too simple.
Any questions please pop by in person to ask we are an open book.
