Based in the old River Island building in the heart of Swindon Town Centre, The Swindon Hub which opened in November 2021, is a safe and accessible space for the community to meet, work, play, discuss, learn and share resources.
The Heat the Hub campaign aimed to provide a warm and safe space for the local community to gather over the winter when many are facing increasing fuel bills.
All donations made as part of the fundraising campaign would be used to cover the cost of gas and electricity over the winter months.
GEL Studios helped Swindon Hub by providing them with graphic design and marketing materials in the form of flyers, marketing advice, press releases and photography.
The month-long campaign raised over £8000. The additional funding meant Swindon Hub was able to provide soup to the neediest in our community.
Donations can still be made to the Hub by popping in their fun and vibrant unit in Swindon Town Centre.
Graeme Leighfield, Managing Director of GEL Studios said:
“At GEL Studios, we're all about making a positive impact on the community, and helping others is at the heart of everything we do.
“We’re so humbled to have been able to support this incredibly important campaign which perfectly suits our vision: inspiring change through creativity”.
Claire Quant, Volunteer and Member of the Board of Trustees at Swindon Hub said:
“The team at Swindon Hub is thrilled about this long-standing partnership with GEL Studios.
“Run completely by volunteers, Swindon Hub hopes to reach more people in the community who need safe spaces to socialise, network and participate in activities.
“Swindon Hub is all about making a difference in our community and we feel this campaign has helped us maintain the success of Swindon Hub. All money raised contributed towards our efforts to keep the lights and heating on over the winter”.
