Dressability was delighted to welcome the Mayor of Swindon, Cllr Fay Howard, to our workshop. The visit provided an opportunity to meet the team, learn more about our services and see first-hand how our work supports people both within the town and beyond.
With a background in nursing and public health, the Mayor has dedicated much of her career to supporting families and improving community wellbeing. The visit closely reflected that commitment. Particular interest was shown in our coat debranding project, where donated branded jackets are carefully restored and passed on to people experiencing homelessness. Examples of the clothing adaptations carried out each day to help people with disabilities dress with comfort and confidence were also shared.
The Mayor expressed how impressed she was by the skill and care involved in every task and welcomed the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the difference these services make. The visit also helped strengthen connections and raise awareness of what Dressability offers, and how other charities, organisations and residents in Swindon may be able to benefit.
Dressability would like to thank Cllr Fay Howard for taking the time to visit and for her support of our work. Her interest helps reinforce the important role the charity plays within the local community and highlights services that many people may not realise exist.
If you or someone you know could benefit from our adaptations or would like to learn more about our wider work, please get in touch.
