The SpArC Leisure Centre's charity campaign is celebrating after hitting the £200,000 mark in their efforts towards replacing Bishop's Castle's 50-year-old pool.

Their achievement is thanks to huge community support for a variety of fundraising events, including sponsored swims, quizzes, plant sales, live music and film events, and much more.

An Olympic fan zone community day was also held in July where residents of the South Shropshire town cheered on Olympic hero Oliver Morgan.
