NOMINATED CHARITY ● JUNE 2026 FESTIVAL
BRIAN HOUSE CHILDREN'S HOSPICE
BRIAN HOUSE CHILDREN'S HOSPICE
Everything collected across the June festival of pool goes to Brian House Children's Hospice in Blackpool.
Brian House cares for children with life-limiting conditions and their families across the Fylde coast. They rely on donations for the majority of their running costs, so every wristband, sticker and raffle ticket bought in the arena makes a direct difference a few miles from the venue.
We choose a nominated charity for each festival and announce it here and in the arena. If there is a cause close to the pool community you think we should support at a future event, tell us at the desk or drop us a message.
OUR TARGET
£5,000
£5,000
One festival, one target. The running total goes up on the board in the arena all weekend.
