Disability programme

Urathon becomes the main partner of the foundation’s Disability Programme, which provides weekly sessions at Foundation Park for people with Down’s Syndrome, mental health issues, learning difficulties and wider disabilities. The purpose-built multi-sports dome hosts the activities.

Broader community support

The partnership also covers the foundation’s Memory Café for people living with dementia, Staying Connected group addressing isolation, and multi-sport SEND holiday camps and festivals delivered with the Premier League. The agreement is intended to support local projects across the Swindon area.

Urathon’s community activity

The Calne-based company designs and manufactures specialist medical equipment, daily-living aids and mobility devices. Its wider community work includes renewed sponsorship of teenage wheelchair athlete and Paralympic hopeful Toby Richardson, plus a donation of shower chairs to a stroke-rehabilitation charity.

Next steps

The two-year arrangement starts immediately, with collaborative community events and outreach initiatives planned for the months ahead. The foundation delivers educational, health and social-inclusion projects across the region, while Urathon was recently certified as a Great Place to Work based on employee feedback.
