The future of Moseley Road Baths in Birmingham, the oldest swimming baths in the city, is secure following a £9.2 million grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. This funding completes a £16 million renovation package aimed at restoring the historic site while enhancing its accessibility and community offerings. Lucy Reid, chair of the Moseley Road Baths CIO, emphasized the importance of such civic spaces in fostering community connections. The renovation will include a community gym, health and wellbeing hub, and event spaces, alongside the restoration of the iconic Gala Pool. Significant contributions to the project also come from Birmingham City Council, which pledged £10 million, and other organizations. The renovations will ensure that the baths are fully accessible for the first time, featuring facilities like Changing Places, a pool hoist, and wheelchair-accessible areas. The project, which began its first phase in September 2022, is set to be completed by late 2028, with community engagement activities planned throughout the renovation process. This initiative not only aims to preserve a vital piece of Birmingham's heritage but also to create a vibrant hub for swimming and community life.
