Fancy playing a vital role within one of Cheltenham's most historic and valued establishments that's stood as a community staple for more than 90 years?
Cheltenham Lido is seeking two new trustees to join its dynamic and committed board – on a voluntary basis – in 2025.
In particular, it's looking for individuals with experience in either human resources or property management and building development.
Trustees at Cheltenham Lido have the opportunity to make a splash, or rather 'make a real difference', to the community hotspot and take part in shaping its future – ensuring it 'remains a safe, welcoming and thriving space for generations to come'.

About Cheltenham Lido
Tell us more about the organisation
Established in 1935, Cheltenham Lido's 50-metre heated pool welcomes thousands of happy swimmers every season – but it's much more than a place to get your lengths in.
Combining fitness, fun, family and heritage to serve as a community destination, the Lido also hosts yoga classes; triathlons; outdoor cinema events; dog swims; lifeguard training; and even the Great Britain Ice Swimming Championships in 2024.
And, it's constantly evolving. In March, the Gloucestershire Lifestyle Award-winning lido reopened for its 2025 season with a completely resurfaced car park, a new designated queuing area for visitors, seven new disabled parking spaces and new CCTV-monitored cycle racks.
