Friends of Signature Swimming, Castlerock

A not-for-profit charity situated in the heart of Coleraine, Friends of Signature Swimming aims to give 3-16 year olds a rewarding experience as they learn how to swim and become comfortable and confident in the water.  While they do not have their own facilities, they use the pool at Coleraine Grammar School.  And, rather than have FOSS volunteers transport equipment and materials needed for their swim programmes, they sought funding towards the purchase of a storage container to keep ‘pool-side’ at CGS – to ensure their equipment is safe, secure and accessible for all to use.  The Committee approved a grant of £745 to meet the full cost of the storage unit quoted in the application.
