March last year when the covid pandemic struck and led to delays and increased costs.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months the Pools has enjoyed exceptional national support with additional funding being provided by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritagefund.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Lottery Heritage Fund<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artscouncil.org.uk\/CRFcapitalkickstart#section-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DCMS Capital Kickstart Fund<\/a>, and emergency grant aid from <a href=\"https:\/\/historicengland.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Historic England<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The project includes a community engagement and volunteering programme with dedicated resources to deliver the Activity Plan, which aims to engage a wide and diverse section of the local community in meaningful projects.<\/p>\n<p>The overall project costs for the period 2019 to 2025 are now just over the \u00a38m mark with the Trust needing to raise a further \u00a3400,000 over the next 18 months to deliver all outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>The pool was built in 1815 and is regarded as a nationally significant site.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Baker, project director for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clevelandpools.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cleveland Pools Trust<\/a>, said: \u201cWe are looking forward now to seeing the restoration take shape, to be complete by summer 2022, when the community that enjoyed the benefits of this wonderful facility in the past, will be able to once again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeard has brought a great deal of expertise to the project and a real appreciation of what the facility will be used for once it\u2019s complete, which is very important for us in a construction partner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Tregelles, Beard project manager, added: \u201cWe recognise how culturally significant this development is for the community, and wider region, not only as a Grade II listed building but also as space for the community to use and enjoy when it\u2019s complete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working closely with the Cleveland Pools Trust to realise their vision to make it an accessible and fun place to be for all users, and also to reflect the rich history behind the nationally important site.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
