SWALLOW CHARITY are looking for Corporate Friends
Swallow a local charity, supporting teenagers and adults with learning disabilities, has launched a new scheme asking local companies to sign up to be their Corporate Friends.
The launch event took place at the SWALLOW Community Café in Radstock in November 2023 and was supported by two local Rotary Clubs – Somer Valley and Chelwood Bridge. Representatives from local companies attended, along with SWALLOW’s Patron, John Cullum, and SWALLOW Trustees, Chris Negus and John Freeman. SWALLOW’s new Corporate Friends Scheme hopes to increase engagement from local companies so that the charity can do even more to help local teenagers and adults with learning disabilities. Specifically, to
develop more meaningful employment opportunities for SWALLOW members – by increasing training opportunities and building links with local employers. SWALLOW is delighted that some local companies have already signed up to the scheme, including Sun Chemical, the Somerset Toiletry Company, Glazerite, The Radstock Co-operative Society, Robert Taylor Architect and TPM, who have all pledged their support. If you would like to know more about how your company could get involved, please contact Nicky on nickyt@swallowcharity.org or go to www.swallowcharity.org/corporate-friends.
