We hope you’ve had a lovely festive season and are ready for a fresh start in 2026. This month we’ve got lots of news, reminders, and ways you can get involved.
Here’s what’s happening at Swanley Therapy Centre this January!
We’re starting the year with a small but exciting update — our Coffee Mornings will now take place on the first Tuesday of every month (with January as the only exception).
Our first get-together of 2026 will be on Tuesday 3rd February, and we’re really pleased to welcome Jennifer, the local Information Officer from Disability Assist.
Disability Assist is a community-focused organisation that helps people navigate everyday challenges by offering guidance on mobility support, benefits, equipment and practical advice for independent living. Jennifer will be on hand for friendly chats, quick questions, or simply to let you know what services are available locally.
It’s a lovely way to ease into the month — a warm drink, good company, and helpful information all in one place. Everyone is welcome, so feel free to pop in and say hello!
A huge thank you to everyone who got involved in our festive competitions this year — we loved seeing the excitement around the centre, and your support really helps keep our fundraising efforts going.
✨ Congratulations to our winners!
Christmas Raffle Winner: Sue B — taking home a gorgeous Christmas Hamper
Guess the Weight of the Cake Winner: Tracey S — enjoying Frank’s Famous Porter Cake!
And a very special shout-out to everyone who bought Lesley’s Christmas Knits — and of course to Lesley herself for creating each item by hand with so much care.
A huge thank you as well to Lady Barbara Ramsey and the wonderful carol singers for spreading festive cheer and raising £55.71 in support of the centre.
All in all, our Christmas activities raised £350.71 — an amazing boost for the centre.
Thank you all for helping us end the year on a high!
There’s still time to become a member of our 100 Club, but don’t wait — applications close on 24th January!
It’s a simple and fun way to support the centre while giving yourself the chance to win monthly cash prizes. Each number costs just £1 per month (payable yearly in advance), and each month one lucky number wins £50!
All contributions go directly towards helping us continue providing therapies and services at Swanley Therapy Centre.
Joining is easy, and even one number makes a real difference. Grab your application and be part of the fun!
We rely on the generosity of our community to keep our therapies affordable, and this year we need to raise £20,000 to help cover the centre’s running costs and continue offering sessions at a subsidised rate.
To support this, we’ve set up a fundraising target page where you can follow our progress and see how we’re getting on throughout the year.
Every contribution, no matter the size, genuinely helps. Thank you for standing with us — keep an eye on our page, get involved where you can, and help us make 2026 our best year yet!
If one of your resolutions this year is to make a difference in your community, we’d love your help! We are still looking for reliable volunteers to assist with our Oxygen Therapy sessions.
Join our friendly team, get trained, and enjoy being part of a supportive environment where you can see the difference you make every day.
Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back — and start 2026 on a positive note!
