The Swindon Town FC Community Foundation has a new main partner for its Disability Programme. Swindon24 reported on Saturday 24 October 2026 that Urathon, a mobility equipment company based in Calne, had signed a two-year agreement that is already in effect.

What will the money support?

  • Weekly sessions at Foundation Park, where people with Down's syndrome, learning difficulties, mental health challenges and other disabilities take part in sport.
  • The Memory Café, for people with dementia.
  • Staying Connected, a group aimed at loneliness and social isolation.
  • SEND holiday camps and multi-sport festivals, run with the Premier League.

Joint community events and outreach were planned for the following months. The value of the deal was not given.

Who is Urathon?

The firm makes mobility equipment and daily living aids and has backed disability sport and rehabilitation in Wiltshire before. Swindon24 said it recently renewed its sponsorship of a teenage wheelchair athlete and donated shower chairs to a stroke rehabilitation charity.

Lucy Carson, Managing Director of Urathon, said: "We design products focused on independence and quality of life every day".

Darren Howell, Partnership and Strategic Manager at the Foundation, said: "Urathon's commitment to improving independence and quality of life aligns closely with the work we do every day".
