SWINDON Cares Week has been launched with the intention of raising much-needed funds for the NSPCC, the Swindon Cancer Appeal and Age Concern.

It is traditional for local newspapers to wish the participants good luck, but we doubt there is a need.

Time after time, Swindon people have demonstrated that when a cause is worthy, there is no limit to their generosity and ingenuity.

We are sure the same will happen in this case.
