The Matatiki: Hornby Centre needs a Hydrotherapy Pool!
A fundraiser for a Hydrotherapy Pool at The Hornby Centre in Hornby, Christchurch
Hornby, Christchurch
The Christchurch City Council have approved and are working towards a swimming pool and library complex (The Hornby Centre) in Hornby. Plans have been finalised and building is now underway. This project will provide a massive benefit to the local and wider community. Unfortunately, funding was not available for the hydrotherapy pool component to this project however it was approved for this overall project that if additional funding become available or efficiencies were identified then desirable components (e.g. hydrotherapy) would be prioritised and included within the scope of the project. We have ensured that council have included a placeholder for hydrotherapy in all plans (to future proof for this critical aspect).
Where available, hydrotherapy pools play a large part for communities spanning from rehabilitation, aged, sports, and general illness (e.g. arthritis, multiple sclerosis). To deliver on this (additional) component for the community, Hornby Rotary Club in conjunct with Greater Hornby Residents Association - are leading the initiative for community fundraising. The shortfall required is $1.4m.
Update 20.20.23
We are almost there! We have raised $1.17 million of the $1.4 million needed. And the pool is currently under construction!
Fundraising will start in February 2022 and is focused on engagement with local businesses, schools, families, and wider community. We thank you for your support. Please visit our website to follow our (your) progress and sign up for the newsletter. We will keep you up to date with fundraising as well as various fundraising initiatives and project timelines.
Why Hornby for a Hydrotherapy Pool?
Residents currently wanting this facility have to travel to another district in Rolleston or to Burwood in the East of the City, the only option is Taiora at QEII. There is currently an ongoing and increasing need for warm pools, particularly on the west side of Christchurch where there is no provision of warm water pools.
