The public toilets in the middle of the village are managed by a group of volunteers, GNAT (Gargrave Needs A Toilet), who took over the day to day running of the loos from Gargrave Parish Council on 1st January 2020 when the parish council could no longer afford it.
The toilets receive no money from taxes and are entirely funded by voluntary donations. They cost £10,000 a year to run. The GNAT group is in the process of registering as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Once it has charitable status the group will be able to start claiming gift aid.

Villagers and visitors are invited to set up standing orders to help provide a guaranteed income from which GNAT can pay for cleaning and consumables. Most of the current standing orders vary from £1 to £10 per month, with a few ranging from £15 to £30 per month. More are welcome to help GNAT to be able to continue to keep the loos open as the outgoings are greater than the current income.
GNAT’s bank details are:
Account Name GNAT
Account Number 53123018
Sort Code 01-07-93
GNAT would be glad to hear from those setting their standing orders up – please get in touch with the Bee Faulkner, the Chair of GNAT on 07778 980994 or BeeActive@posteo.net
