We’ve been a little quiet lately, but don’t mistake quiet for giving up.
Behind the scenes, Friends of Wingham Pool and Wingham Swim Club continues to advocate for our community and keep Wingham Pool on the radar.
We’re continuing conversations with Council, the NSW State Government and the Australian Government, working to ensure the importance of a pool for Wingham isn’t forgotten and that the support and investment needed to make it happen remains on the table.
We know progress feels slow, but we also recognise that projects like this don’t happen overnight. Funding processes take time, and sometimes progress happens quietly behind the scenes long before the community sees it.
What hasn’t changed is our determination. We’ll keep advocating for Wingham until we have a pool again but we need your help.
🏊♀️We need your stories🏊
One of the most powerful things we can put in front of government isn’t just statistics or funding proposals — it’s the voice of our community.
If you’re an individual, family, business, sporting club, community group or organisation, we’d love you to write a letter of support telling us:
🏊 What has Wingham Pool meant to you?
💙 What are your favourite memories of the pool?
👨👩👧👦 What does it mean to your family?
🏫 What does the loss of the pool mean for your school, club or organisation?
💔 What has the community lost by not having a pool?
🌱 Why is having a pool important for Wingham’s future?
It doesn’t need to be formal or long. We want your stories, your memories and your experiences.
Tell us what the pool has meant to you, what it means to our community, and what the impact of not having a pool has been.
We’ll collate these letters and stories and use them as further evidence of the strength of community support as we continue our conversations with all levels of government.
📧 If you’d like to provide a letter of support, please email it to [email protected]
And if you’d like a hand putting a letter of support together, please get in touch with us, we’re more than happy to help. It’s your story and your experience that matters; you don’t need to have the perfect words.
Every story helps. Every voice matters. And together, they help tell the bigger story of why Wingham needs a pool.
