Our Committee
We are a small group of dedicated and professional volunteers with varied professional backgrounds, skills and experience. What connects and unites us is our passion to regenerate the derelict Otley baths and bring it back into community use. Some of us lead specific functional areas but as a small team our roles are fluid. This ensures we all have a well-developed and rounded understanding of the project which aids sound collective decision-making.
