SWALLOW, the local charity supporting teenagers and adults with learning disabilities, is seeking new Trustees. No experience is necessary, just an ability to make sound, considered judgements and to want to improve the lives of local vulnerable people.

One of the current Trustees, John Freeman, joined the Board five years ago. He is a retired teacher and wanted to continue to give something to the local community. “I got involved with SWALLOW because I had heard about the great work they do locally, and I thought my skills and experience might be useful,” he says. “I am now the liaison between the Trustee Board and the Management Committee made up of SWALLOW members. I feed back their thoughts and wishes to ensure that the charity remains user-led.”

The charity is also looking for riders to raise money by cycling for SWALLOW in the Bike Bath event on 1st July 2018. If you are able to cycle 25, 50 or 80 miles you can make a huge difference to local vulnerable people by raising money – please join our team.

If you would like more information about being a Trustee, Bike Bath, or the other ways you could support SWALLOW, please email: [email protected] or call: 01761 414034. You can also find more information at: www.swallowcharity.org or find us on Facebook.
