North Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson has welcomed news that three Swindon charities are set to benefit from grants awarded by the People's Postcode Lottery.
The Open Door Centre has been awarded £15,000, Phoenix Enterprises will benefit from £10,000, and Thamesdown Hydrotherapy Pool will be boosted by £25,000 of funding.
The Open Door Centre and Phoenix Enterprises both provide crucial support for people with learning and physical disabilities, offering vital social opportunities and helping them build their confidence. The Thamesdown Hydrotherapy Pool helps improve the lives of people with physical disabilities, such as Cerebral Palsy and Muscular Dystrophy, or those recovering from injury, by using hydrotherapy to ease pain and aid rehabilitation.
Justin Tomlinson MP said: "This funding is thoroughly deserved and will enable these fantastic groups to continue their brilliant work supporting the local community. I have already been pro-active in promoting these charities and publicising their appeals for donations, and I am once again asking people to also consider supporting them – every little really does help.""
