Friends of Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool

Formed in 1994 as a community group to fight the threatened closure of the Pool, "The Friends" is now a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) which works in close partnership with Aberdeenshire Council. While the Council operates the pool, the Friends maintain, enhance and promote the Pool.

Maintaining, enhancing and promoting the Pool requires considerable funds; But the Friends do much more than fundraise - to keep the Pool looking its best each season and to ensure its long-term future takes a lot of voluntary work of different kinds.
