Charities in Swindon, Wiltshire

“Big eclectic selection of stuff, from old electrical to office and shop sell off. It's got everything you would want for an upcycling project or school arts and crafts.”

“The Canal Visitor Centre has a bookshop with a stock of modestly priced books. Most are second-hand, and they cover a wide range of topics. There is also a number of old vinyl records and old maps. All have been donated to the trust for them to help raise funds for the restoration of the canal.
At the visitor centre, they stock information leaflets to use for walking along different lengths of the canal and can give you information about the Trust and its activities.
Opening hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Saturday (excluding Wednesday)
The Visitor Centre is close to Swindon’s central library, at the top end of Regent Street.
There is a large public car park nearby.”

“We would print and fold our own leaflets until today when our printer decided it wasn't going to print! We really needed the leaflets for an event we are going to over the weekend. I phoned VAS and spoke to Charmaine who was very helpful and assured me VAS could print, fold and have them ready within a couple of hours. Charmaine contacted me to let me know they were ready to collect way before my deadline, and on collection I was amazed. It was a brilliant job and perfectly folded and very cost effective, Having VAS do the leaflets has saved us time and money! The staff I met were all very friendly and helpful, the door was even opened for me when I left. Very professional service I thoroughly recommend them. I for one will definitely be back!!”

“My daughter Megan looks forward to coming to Peer4Support every week with Kerry-Anne and Cleo. It is a great scheme to roll out across school. As an ELSA I fully support everything you are doing. Megan is getting so much from this and I am so proud of her! Thank you again. She had to leave early today for an appointment and is worried she won’t get her certificate. Also she has a Christmas card to give you both ? where can we post this to ?”

“Fantastic people in shop very help full and friendly they are committed for the help they give to customers, its a shame those who write unfair comments do not give some of there time to help the animals in need.”
