SWALLOW Charity were one of ten winners at our Dragons’ Den 10, and have recently updated us on how they got on with their project:
“Your support enabled our 2024 Evaluation Day to take place. We had a record number of 120 attendees, who all gathered to share their feedback about SWALLOW and ideas for the coming year. It was held at Conygre Hall in Timsbury and facilitated by ‘I Can & I Am’ in an engaging and accessible way, that enabled all of our members, parents and carers to have their voices heard. This annual event forms a key part of our user-led structure and it directly informs what new services we develop, as well as our fundraising strategy.
As a result of last years’ Evaluation Day, we have since started new swimming sessions, held a special Boogie in a Barn event, revamped our online shop where our members sell their crafts and held First Aid and Makaton training for our members. Overall, the event has made a significant difference to our members, their families and our charity.”
