Autumn Highlights: Success, Support & Ways to Get Involved

🍁 October Newsletter 🍁

Welcome to the October Newsletter from Swanley Therapy Centre.

As the leaves turn and the season changes, we’re celebrating the Summer Fete, sharing Lesley’s delightful handmade knitted items, and bringing you ways to support and get involved at Swanley Therapy Centre.


Handmade with Heart

We want to give a massive shout-out to Lesley for her incredible hard work creating the most delightful handmade knitted items to sell at our Summer Fete and here at the centre afterwards.

From cheerful Positive Potatoes to sweet Mindful Mice and other cute little characters, each item was made with care, creativity, and lots of love — and they brought smiles to everyone who saw them!

A heartfelt thank you also goes to everyone who purchased these charming creations. All monies raised go directly to the Centre. 


🎉 We Did It! 🎉

In this October Newsletter, we celebrate the Summer Fete success! Thanks to our amazing supporters, volunteers, and everyone who came along to the Summer Fete, we are thrilled to announce that we reached our £3,000 target!

Every raffle ticket bought, every cake enjoyed, and every smile shared helped us reach this incredible milestone. These funds will go directly towards keeping our therapies accessible and affordable for everyone who needs them.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers, donors, and visitors — you made this possible. Together, we’ve shown just how strong and generous our community is. 💙

Here’s to more fun, more fundraising, and more smiles ahead!


Supporting Swanley Therapy Centre this Autumn – Help Keep Our Therapies Accessible

At Swanley Therapy Centre, our mission is to make therapies accessible and affordable for everyone who needs them. To help us continue this vital work, we are always on the lookout for grants or community fundraising schemes.

If you come across any local grants, community initiatives, or fundraising schemes, please consider nominating us. Even a small suggestion could make a big difference in helping us secure the resources we need to keep our therapies running.

We’re so grateful for the generosity of our supporters — whether through donations, attending events, purchasing items at our fundraisers, or simply spreading the word. Every action, big or small, contributes to keeping our centre a welcoming, caring space for everyone in our community.

Thank you for helping us continue this important work. Together, we can make sure Swanley Therapy Centre remains a place of healing, support, and wellbeing for all. 💙
