March News from Swanley Therapy Centre đź’™

Spring is just around the corner, and there’s lots happening at Swanley Therapy Centre!

Inside, you’ll find news on our MS Open Day, how you can follow our 2026 fundraising target, and other information about the Centre. Plus, we have some important updates about membership and subsidised session fees.

We do our best to keep prices low but due to continued cost increases there is an unavoidable need to increase prices by a minimal amount.

Therefore, as of 1st April 2026, membership and session fees at Swanley Therapy Centre will be updated as follows:

Subsidised Session Fees: An increase of £2.00 per session.
Annual Membership: From £30 to £35.

As a charity, Swanley Therapy Centre remains committed to providing safe, affordable, and high-quality services for everyone who attends. Even with this small increase we are still one of the cheapest Centres in the country.

If you have any questions please speak with the staff at the centre; if you are unable to find a resolution to your concern you are welcome to speak to the Trustees.

These decisions have been made after close examination and a projection of our financial position, anticipating fundraising potential for the coming year.

We greatly appreciate your understanding and continued support, and we look forward to maintaining a positive, supportive relationship with you into the future.

14th March 2026
1–3pm | Swanley Therapy Centre

We are pleased to be welcoming three local MS Society groups at this event and strengthen the MS campaign for awareness. Please join us this March for our dedicated “MS focussed Open Day” – a relaxed, welcoming afternoon with refreshments provided throughout.

Enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, a slice of cake, and a friendly chat while you find out more about what we offer.

You’ll have the chance to meet our wonderful therapists, chat with our friendly team of staff and volunteers, and take a tour of the oxygen chamber to see how sessions work and how they may support you.

We’ll also be offering:
✨ An introduction to Oxygen Therapy
✨ A Bowen Therapy demonstration
✨ Information about our social activities
✨ The opportunity to meet others and share experiences

Our centre is a warm, welcoming space where peer support sits at the heart of everything we do. It’s a chance to connect with others who truly understand, ask questions in a relaxed setting, and explore what’s available to you.

Pop in between 1–3pm, have a cuppa on us, and see what we’re all about.

Help us reach our 2026 fundraising target and see the difference your support makes!

You can follow our progress through the link below or at the Centre. Watch our thermometer heat up as we get closer to our goal! Every donation, raffle ticket, and fundraiser counts!

Be part of something amazing and help us continue providing vital therapies and activities for our full member community.

2026 Fundraising

Our team are incredibly busy behind the scenes keeping everything running smoothly at the Centre.

As well as supporting sessions, they also:
✨ Answer your questions and enquiries
✨ Manage bookings and respond to queries
✨ Apply for grants to help keep costs as low as possible
✨ Organise fundraising events
✨ Maintain important records
✨ Create posters, newsletters and social media posts to keep you updated on what’s coming up
✨ And lots more!

There’s a lot that happens beyond the chamber doors!

So please bear with us when we’re busy, and be mindful that there is a lot happening that you may not see and some calls need careful and private handling. Our effort to attend to everyone’s need – phone call answered, event planned, and grant application submitted – will be serving our wonderful members.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO INFORM US OF YOUR CANCELLATION INTENTIONS PROMPTLY.

You can reach us via phone, answerphone, or email. The sooner we know the sooner we can contact someone who may be waiting for that space.
