Temporary Closure
It is with regret that we must announce the short term closure of our Brunel Centre Care in the High Street unit. Due to demand in our main Shaw centre, we have made the decision to temporarily close the high street premises to accommodate that need.
Users of the Care in the High Street unit are advised to contact the main centre on 01793 873098 or email Hollie Smart on [email protected] for more information or to arrange sessions in Shaw. The closure means that we are able to provide bigger and better services in Shaw and we look forward to welcoming everyone to the main site very soon.
Thank you for your understanding at this time, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Swindon Brunel Centre Launch
On Thursday October 23rd 2014, Elizabeth Hurley officially unveiled the UK’s first Care in the High Street project in Swindon’s Brunel Centre.
“This is the first Care in the High Street store anywhere in the world.
“We are hoping that one day we can have this sort of centre up and down the United Kingdom, to help children with disabilities and their families to have a bit of respite.
“It is just a wonderful place for people and I would encourage everybody to help raise funds for such a noble cause. It is wonderful to be part of a large but local organisation. Often people focus on global issues, but something like this in people’s own areas really needs supporting and always needs funding.”
