| HSJ Swindon would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to the opening on 15th July 2011, it was a fabulous evening and brilliant to see the centre being used by the children and their families who have been waiting for us to open for the last 3 years.  We were delighted that Presidents Mr & Mrs James Arkell and Mr Robert Buckland MP could join us on the night.  We would like to thank Arkells for donating all the refreshments on the night.

Hop Skip & Jump day care centres have proved to be vital  to the families of special needs dependents, and are an important part of the  communities in which they operate, acting as a lifeline to thousands of people.  Our existing centres in Cheltenham and Bristol receive over  31,000 visits between them each year, and families travel from within a 100  mile radius. Over the past 28 years we have shown the positive impact that the  respite and support provided at our centres can have on families. With your support, we will be able to offer our  comprehensive range of specialist services to children and families throughout  Swindon, Wiltshire, Berkshire and further afield.                   |
