SWALLOW, the local charity supporting teenagers and adults with learning disabilities, is celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2018.

On Monday, 12th February it held its Annual Evaluation Day and AGM, where people helped by the charity, their parents and carers, SWALLOW staff, Trustees and supporters got together to help the celebrations begin.

From small beginnings in the early 1990s, where a handful of people got together to improve lives and choices for local people with learning disabilities, SWALLOW now helps over 120 teenagers and adults. The charity provides a wide range of support, all developed in response to need, and helps individuals to live positive and independent lives in their communities.

Beverley Craney, Chief Executive, said: “We are so proud of all that has been achieved by SWALLOW over the last 25 years, we have many more exciting plans for the future – there are always challenges, but our members inspire us to dream big!”
