Ref. 31121-30The North Swindon Family Centre has been given a Ground Force-style makeover.
The NSPCC-run centre, in Atworth Close, was visited by a team of 30 branch managers from Nationwide Building Society.
Their mission was to turn it into the sort of venue anybody would be happy and proud to visit, and they succeeded.
It is to be officially opened this morning.
Work included painting wooden benches, creating a children's playhouse, fitting a basketball hoop and planting flower beds.
The employees, who travelled from branches in Dorset and Somerset, also provided two graffiti boards, an exterior wall mural and installed benches.
The North Swindon Family Centre represents an important commitment by the NSPCC and other agencies involved in making a difference to children and families in the north of Swindon.
Over the last year the centre has run Keep Safe groups, after school groups, parenting groups, play courses and drop-in sessions.
For details, call the centre on 01793 705810.
