North Swindon MP Supports Local Charity SMASH

Justin Tomlinson MP has met with a representative of SMASH to discuss the charity’s fantastic work and offer the community space at his constituency office, as well as offer his general advice.

SMASH is a local Swindon charity which supports young people and children through two programmes: Swindon Youth Mentoring (ages 13-19) and Memory Makers (ages 9-12). They work to provide guidance for young people who may be struggling due to their individual circumstances.

The mentors meet with the same young person once a week, typically for a year, to give support, encouragement and guidance. Mentors encourage young people to believe in themselves, building up their self-confidence and helping them take the first steps towards achieving their goals. By arranging events and activities, SMASH gives young people the opportunity to try out new experiences not normally available to them.

During the meeting, Justin discussed with SMASH some of the various grants that are available to them, as well as offering the community space at his office.

This community space is free of charge and available to charities & organisations from Swindon to host training sessions, workshops, coffee mornings or fundraising events.

Justin has actively supported charities like SMASH throughout his seven years as an MP, championing the work they do to make a difference in Swindon.
