WINCHESTER Lido has made a splash with its crowdfunding campaign. As previously reported the Winchester Lido Sports Association has been raising funds to restore the building on Worthy Lane. Now it is celebrating a big fundraising boost. The charity started crowdfunding in December, aiming to raise £4,000. By the time the campaign closed in late January, over £14,000 had been pledged. Alongside individual donations and gift aid of almost £5,000, the charity will benefit from match-funding grants totalling £8,800 from the city council, Sport England, Sovereign Housing and a local family trust, with Hampshire County Council awarding a further £500 through their councillor grant scheme.
