We have a new mural on the outside of our Broadgreen Office! Come and have a look!

It was created as a youth engagement project and celebrates South Swindon. Young people from the local community helped paint the mural to bring more vibrancy to Broadgreen. A huge thank you to Artsite Youth, Harbourside Youth, Keep Swindon Tidy and YJS for getting involved. We love having a piece of art that the community has painted on our office!

Swindon Mesothelioma Awareness Day

Last Friday people gathered at the Mesothelioma Memorial Garden in Queen's Park to remember those affected and to raise awareness of the disease. Representatives from RWK Goodman and HASAG spoke, alongside former Queen's Park Community Council Chair Stan Pajak, Deputy Mayor of Swindon Cllr Gayle Cook and MP Heidi Alexander.

South Swindon Parish Councillors Pat Herring, Linda Kasmaty, Janine Howarth, John Firmin and Sam James attended to pay their respects. Cllr Howarth took part in releasing ceremonial doves as a small act of remembrance.

Our industrial history means mesothelioma has had a significant impact on our local community. It was moving to see so many people come together to remember those affected, show their support and help raise awareness of the disease.

Thank you to RWK Goodman and HASAG for bringing people together for such an important event.

This week we're sharing our Youth Service Update, highlighted some of the opportunities over the previous 3 months for young people across South Swindon. The section covers youth clubs, outreach work, community activities and the Outdoor Youth Space at GAP Community Garden.

It also highlights the volunteers needed to help support youth sessions and would love to get more volunteers to help out.

We’ve continued to develop the Queen’s Park hothouse area for you to enjoy.

New railings were installed on Friday as the latest improvements to the area, to make it safer and more accessible. They’ve been designed in a similar style as the railings on the bridge from the small to large pond to help them fit in with the surrounding park.

Phase one of the hothouse redevelopment was completed earlier this year, and the space area is now open to the public. Moving forwards, we’re looking to add tables, chairs and planters to make it a more welcoming, enjoyable space for you.
