We are continuing to raise the profile of the pool and develop the facility as a centre of excellence for hydrotherapists. However the core function of the pool continues to thrive; providing services to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of our community by supporting those with long term or short term disabilities. The pool therapy enables them to move more easily, control pain and build self confidence. 2. Briefly describe the project or service you want funding for: The responsibility for the pool is shared by CCC and The Trust. We are responsible for raising funds to maintain and improve the pool. A certain level of grant funding is necessary for the general running of the pool and for running repairs just to keep the pool running. In the short term we are looking to replace some permimeter fencing but we are focussed on a long term project to utilise alternative energy to create sustainability in heating the pool. This may necessarily result in replacement of the roof which is in poor repair, if solar panels are required. We will be applying for ad hoc grants from other sources such as Cumbria Community Foundation to contribute to this. Any grant available from Kendal Town Council is directly used to finance the everyday running of the pool. 1 March 2015 Total cost of project or service £ Amount requested £2,500 Funds received to date £ Funds Pledged to date £ 3. Why do you need this grant and how will the people of Kendal benefit? Alongside the County Council and the Cumbria Clinical Commissioning Group (NHS), the Town Council has previously provided funds to secure the long term future of the pool. We would very much appreciate the continued support of the Town Council. The pool is predominantly used by residents of Kendal. The suers are from a wide range of groups; children, the elderly and disabled as well as those recovering from operations and illnesses. There are approximately 500 visits to the pool each week. Despite the pool being closed for at least six weeks this last year due to problems with heating we still had over 18,000 visits. We hope that by addressing our energy needs and looking for ways to create a cheaper more sustainable way of heating the pool, one of our largest running costs, ultimately the pool will cost less to run and will require lower levels of funding. 4. Please provide any other information in support of your application. The pool needs to be well mainained and the water temperature high due to the additional needs of the users. Our focus is on the wellbeing of the people of Kendal and South Lakeland. The mental and physical benefits add to the quality of life for those who access the pool. Our aim is to continue to raise the number of users and reach as many people as possible. Very few pools like this remain, it’s affection in the local community continues to inspire the generosity of local people and people who use the pool do send donations and support our “Friends” organisation in their fund raising efforts. Every effort is made to seek fundning from a range of sources so that we can spread the load and not be reliant on any one grant. 2 March 2015 5.

Please tell us about your organisation: The Brewery Arts Centre is the cultural and community hub of Kendal and South Lakeland. With a range of versatile spaces including a theatre, music/comedy venue, two cinemas, a gallery, a studio, bars, a restaurant and the Warehouse café. Despite the current economic uncertainty and challenging funding environment, the Brewery has continued to maintain a strong commitment to presenting a broad and eclectic programme across eight art forms - theatre, comedy, film, dance, music, adventure, visual arts and literature. With such a wide offer the Brewery truly caters for all sectors of the local community and adds much to Kendal’s quality of life and sense of place. Creative learning for young people is a central part of the Brewery’s offer catering for hundreds of local children and young people from early years to the age of twenty. As well as regular classes, workshops and performance/exhibition opportunities, the department has a strong track record in the planning and delivery of user-centric outreach projects such The Bench Project, From A to B, The Migration Project, Bee Creative and the heritage focused Motto project are all examples of successful projects run by the department. 2. Briefly describe the project or service you want funding for: Tucked away off the Kendal’s main high street area myriad of small yards which hold histories and stories of past industries and personalities. Inspired by this unique local heritage, which forms the backbone of the trades and industries of Kendal we will work with a wide range of age groups and community groups to create a series of exciting and contemporary visual arts installations. Sited within a number of yards these will reinterpreted the trades and professions that built the town we know today. Talented local artists will lead young people from primary, secondary, special needs schools (SEN), local youth groups (including young people who attend regular classes at the Brewery Arts Centre), adult community groups and volunteers to create the art work over nine months prior to installation. Some of the installations will be informed directly by the history and stories of individual yards whilst others will allude to important industries that grew from the yards as a result of transferable skills.
