A drop-in Community Hub opened at Swindon Central Library, Swindon24 reported on Thursday 30 July 2026. It is the second in Swindon Borough Council's programme: the first opened at Park Library, where more than 150 residents had received support. More than 200 residents had used the scheme in total.
What can you get help with?
The hub puts council services and partner organisations in one place:
- employment and skills advice
- Adult Community Learning
- financial and wellbeing support
- a Youth Hub for people aged 16 to 24, with careers guidance and help with apprenticeships, training or work
- the library's existing services, including self-service computers and Blue Badge and bus pass enquiries
- information about local health and wellbeing services
When is it open?
Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm. Most services are drop-in; some partner organisations run scheduled sessions during the week.
Councillor Matt Hinton, Cabinet Member for Community Engagement, Safety and Customer Services, said the aim was "making it easier for residents to access the help they need in places they know and trust."
The council said it would use feedback from residents and partners to shape the hubs before introducing them more widely across Swindon. The report also notes the recently opened Solid Ground Coffee café at the library.
