legal structure
Hampton Heated Open Air Pool is the trading name
of Hampton Pool Trust, a registered charity (294117)
and a not for profit company limited by guarantee
(1870925).
The Trust has a board of volunteer
honorary directors/trustees drawn from the local
community who are also the trustees under charity
law. These people constitute the board of management
who have overall responsibility for the policy
and proper direction of the Company. The day to
day administration of the Trust is carried out
by professionally qualified staff from the leisure
industry. Since
1 April,
Hampton Pool has been managed by KWYMCA on behalf
of Hampton Pool Trust. Hampton Pool has grown enormously
as a business, and the task of managing on a day-to-day
basis is beyond the capabilities of the voluntary
board of trustees. The YMCA are also a charity
organisation –
and also of great importance – have a wealth of experience in the leisure
industry, running gyms, cafes and sports facilities. The board of Hampton Pool
has entered a management agreement with the YMCA. This is not a takeover and
in the forthcoming months customers should be able to witness the benefits.
The Trust does not have shareholders in the
normal way but has members who have guaranteed
an amount of £25 should the company fail.
These members have the right to elect directors
at the Annual General Meeting and vote on all matters
relating to the Trust. Membership of the company
is open to anyone who has the best interests of
Hampton Pool at heart and is subject to the approval
of the board. If you are interested in becoming
a member you can contact the board by writing to:
