SWALLOW, the local charity supporting teenagers and adults with learning disabilities, has received a generous donation from Bath-based company, Roper Rhodes, this is extremely valuable in this year when many fundraising activities have had to be halted.

Roper Rhodes is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of bathroom furniture and products and has been supporting SWALLOW charity for more than 25 years.

Bev Craney, SWALLOW Chief Executive, said: “We are so grateful for the support that Mark and Paul Roper have given SWALLOW, this year they have boosted their donation because they recognise how difficult it has been for us.

“The money will go to keeping our members and staff safe and allow us to put in additional support where it is really needed.

“This follows many years of support that was initially started by Brian Roper and has made a huge difference to SWALLOW’s development. It’s a lovely Christmas present.”

Mark Roper, Chairman of Roper Rhodes, said: “This year has been really tough for so many local charities - with all their usual fundraising activities being cancelled due to the pandemic. It’s up to those of us in the local community who can help to step up to the plate. We are delighted to be able to increase our support for SWALLOW – we would urge others who can to do their bit too.”
