A PROFESSIONAL fundraiser has been appointed to help Guisborough update its swimming pool.
Joe Cole runs his business, Natural Partners, from his home town of Redcar but helps groups all over the country to find cash for community projects.
Now he is helping the Guisborough swimming pool group raise £10,000 for a feasibility study to establish whether a new swimming pool could be a viable option in the town.
Local people have been campaigning for some months for a new pool as the existing facilities are run down.
Some money for the feasibility study has already been made available through the Countryside Agency's Market Towns Initiative.
Guisborough has been chosen as a pilot town for the new regeneration scheme.
