LEISURE staff from Swindon Council have been invited to an exclusive reception at the House of Lords.

The Shaw Trust has invited Fran Pound, lifestyle manager, and Keith Ball, sports therapist, because of the support Swindon Services has given to the organisation.

The trust is the biggest provider of training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities in the UK.

Fran and Keith will be visiting the House of Lords on Tuesday.

John Short, director of Swindon Services at Swindon Council, said: "I am extremely proud that Fran and Keith have received this invitation.

"Once again, it demonstrates Swindon Services' professionalism and commitment to supporting the local community."
