Scaffolding is up! Help us make the most of this moment

April 2026

Body

We’ve reached a critical milestone at Jacobs Wells Baths: the scaffolding is now in place and the first phase of repair works are well underway. Specialist contractors, Carrek Ltd are working to repair original roof timbers and replace of the historic glass roof lantern that will bring natural light back into the main hall and transform the space for future use. 

This gives us a rare and time-limited opportunity to carry out as much repair and restoration work at height as possible while access is in place.

Every additional pound raised now helps us go further to repair and protect more of the building’s historic fabric - removing buddliea, fixing masonry and carrying out low level roof repairs, reducing the need for future costs. 

By supporting the project at this stage, you’re not just helping us stabilise the building. You’re helping unlock the next phase of reonvations and transformation, strengthening our case for major investment and bringing us closer to reopening this incredible space for the city.

If you’ve been thinking about supporting, now is the moment your contribution can have the greatest impact. We're working to reach our £10,000 individual giving target and every individual support helps us to not only deliver more work, but show public support for this project. 

Give big, give small, every donation will make a difference to how far we can go together!
