Building works update from Rutherford School: In this instalment of timelapse footage of our build an enclosure to protect our air source heat pump is built and cladded. There is also a lot of internal work happening to complete the inside. You may recall from earlier timelapse footage that after the foundations, the new hydrotherapy pool was one of the first things that was built, so this is already inside the main structure you see here. Internal work to the pool area, accessible changing rooms and toilets has been happening this month. In next month's instalment, we'll be able to bring you some photos of that too.
This is a really ambitious project that has been four years in the planning. Of a total £2.5m, we're fundraising in the last stages raising the last few thousand pounds to complete the works. Any fundraising makes a difference to our target - and ultimately to our students that will use the new facilities. Not only that, but the members of our community who will also use the facilities in the evenings and on weekends for injury or post operative rehabilitation too.
We're keen to support all community fundraising for our Space to Thrive appeal, so if you've got a fundraising idea, want to do a challenge event, host a cake sale, quiz, or any other fundraising activity, we're here for you. Send us a message if you want help getting your Space to Thrive fundraising off the ground.
