Clevedon Marine Lake is run by MARLENS (Marine Lake Enthusiasts), the charity behind the lake (registered charity number 1156426). Cleaning, maintenance and fundraising for improvements are all carried out by volunteers, which is why this amazing space is always ship shape for visitors to enjoy.

It costs roughly £10,000 each year to simply run Clevedon Marine Lake, which is raised entirely through fundraising initiatives. The same again is required annually to make on-going improvements to lake facilities and surrounds, for example, dredging the lakebed of silt each year, construction of six more benches, installation of a fourth mural to cheer up the promenade wall, water quality testing during peak times, improvements to digital information and on-line donation, and administrative support – and longer term, changing and meeting facilities at the old boat store above the splash pool rampway.
