Thank you to everyone who came to our Show & Tell event today for #HeritageOpenDays. We had a great time hearing people's memories and seeing items you had to share.

The young people involved in the project loved showing off their creative work for the first time too!

We're having a great time so far this week with the mural artists who are helping us to bring our ideas together to produce creative work we can share with people across the town... It's great to have everyone together and welcome a few new faces to the project too!

A perfect last day of the first week of our #SharingSwindonsStory HLF Young Roots project... It's been such a brilliant week! Today we had fun at the ATB Skate Warehouse, visited the 175 mural at Cambria Bridge Park for inspiration and had visit from @PrimeTheatreUK #Swindon

Today, on our 4th day of our #SharingSwindonsStory project, we recorded oral histories of retired GWR workers and found out what life was like in #Swindon in times gone by. We also took a trip to the GWR Park and spent the afternoon collating our findings from the week so far.
