Objectives

We exist to ensure Moseley Road Baths continues to provide a wonderful swimming experience, heritage asset, wellbeing facility and focus for community action, for the local community of Balsall Heath and people further afield.

Activities

Moseley Road Baths is a Grade II* listed swimming baths in need of significant renovation, with significant heritage attention and much loved by the local community. With support from its partners, MRBCIO took over operating the pool in April 2018 under a License to Operate from Birmingham City Council, with the aim to deliver the above objectives. It is now run by a fantastic community of volunteers and staff. Together we have gradually increased its opening hours, brought in new swim groups, made physical improvements, raised funds to continue operating and scoped potential new areas of business.

We are working with a 'coalition' of organisations to work together on the long term renovation and future of the Baths. Partners include the National Trust, Historic England and the World Monuments Fund alongside the City Council. This arrangement provides considerable security for the CIO as to the care of the building, leaving us to focus on maintaining and developing the community swimming operation and potentially other uses of the space.
