Liza Loginova, Assistant Manager at London Fields Lido, said: “Hackney Giving has been a valued partner for London Fields Lido for several years. We are so proud and pleased to be working with a charity that supports our local community in meaningful ways – we believe wholeheartedly in giving back to the community and donating to Hackney Giving is a way to ensure our support has a genuine positive impact.”

One organisation wrote to us to explain how the grant had helped them support vulnerable families. They said:

“You have enabled us to bring warmth, comfort, and light to families who face particular challenges during the winter months.” 

“Many families shared with us how much it meant to feel remembered and supported at a time of year that can otherwise be overwhelming. The vouchers helped transform their holidays into moments of celebration, connection, and happiness – something that would not have been possible without your assistance.”

Next time you’re at the Lido, have a look at the noticeboard and know that swimmers picking up a water bottle really are making a difference to people here in Hackney.
