A high school is hoping people power will help it raise up to £25,000 to revamp its swimming pool for students and the community.
Thorpe St Andrew High School is appealing for votes in the Aviva Community Fund scheme, which calls on the public to vote for their favourite project.
The pool is well-used by pupils, nearby primary schools and community swimming clubs, but the Friends of Thorpe St Andrew School, who are behind the bid, say the 'current facilities will not be able to sustain to level of use for much longer'.
If they secure enough votes, the money would go towards new plant equipment, changing rooms, cubicles, toilets, showers, windows, tiling and a new entrance area.
Ian Clayton, headteacher, said: 'To lose such a well-used facility in Thorpe St Andrew would be detrimental to the school and community.
'We are looking to raise a substantial amount to go towards improving the swimming pool such as, the changing rooms, cubicles, toilets, showers, windows, replacing the plant equipment and retiling the pool and surrounding area.
'We cannot do this alone and need community support to achieve this goal.'

Through improving the facilities, he said, the school would be able to up the pool's usage.
The appeal cites the Greater Norwich Growth's Board infrastructure plan for the area from May 2015, in which it highlighted the need for the school's pool to be refurbished.
They have joined a handful of other schools fighting to save their pools, including Drayton Junior School.
Since the pool was forced to close in 2015, £60,000 has been raised in grants, donations and fundraising to bring it up to scratch, including a new roof.
Headteacher David Oldham said: 'We are working to try and secure funding for the future, so when Drayton grows we aren't here again.
'We use the pool for four hours a week - the rest of the time it is used by the community.'
The school, which plans to host a celebration this month to mark the pool's official reopening, benefitted from a £500 donation from Moth in a China Shop charity.
