SWALLOW supports teenagers and adults with learning disabilities.

SWALLOW is a user-led charity based in Midsomer Norton, just south of Bath, supporting teenagers and adults with learning disabilities. We support our members to lead independent and fulfilled lives by offering a range of help and support. We help people with learning disabilities to life the lives that they choose through independent living skills training, supported housing, outreach support, day activities, work skills skills training and health and social activities.

Why the community needs us

SWALLOW makes a real difference to the lives of vulnerable local people, allowing them to live the lives that they choose. We support our members to take an active role in the community, develop skills and build a network of friendships to reduce social isolation. We empower our members by developing services with them at the heart and listening to what they want, they lead all that SWALLOW does.

Our impact on the community

The work that SWALLOW does makes a huge impact on the lives of our members and their families. We build confidence and skills and with our help our members become active, thriving members of the community. We make links with young people at Fosse Way School to aid transition to adulthood, we support those who fall through the net of other provision and we help people to access the support that they are entitled to. Our members tell us their goals and dreams and we help them reach them!
