ABOUT
Introduction
In February 2016, Friends of Otley Lido (FoOL) was incorporated as a Community Interest Company – a social enterprise that uses its profits and assets for the benefit of the community – with Companies House in England & Wales (Company Number: 10008956).
We are a group of professional and dedicated volunteers who are passionate about our community, the derelict site and the impact our project can have.
The project is about community – returning an eyesore to the community asset it used to be. Thereby enhancing the riverside and town's facilities; boosting health, wellbeing, opportunities, social cohesion and the local economy.
A key aspect of the project is connecting the exisiting riverside resources and enhancing the riverside experience through complementary provision of facilities including a free to access community hub comprising café, riverside terrace and WCs.
Ultimately, our vision is increased vibrancy in Otley Riverside and the town and to be a catalyst for other initiatives and wider regeneration.
