Dan is a SWALLOW member who loves football.   He was part of the SWALLOW Football Team for a few years before he expressed an interest in becoming a coach.  Dan's support worker enabled him to complete a coaching course with Bath Football Foundation and he now helps to coach the SWALLOW team and get them ready for their matches.

Alex decided that he wanted to run the Bath Half Marathon for SWALLOW a few years ago.  He started training with his outreach support worker and in just 5 months he was ready to realise his dream of running his first half marathon.  He completed the challenge in an amazing 2 hours 20 minutes - and lost 3.5 stone in the process!

Hetty felt that it was unjust that she was not able to use her bus pass before 9am, to get to work.  SWALLOW enabled her to meet with her local MP Anna Sabine and together they contributed to a campaign that got the rules changed and now thousands of disabled people can use  their bus passes before 9am.

Gary has a long held dream of becoming a Teaching Assistant.  He struggled to read before he joined the Read Easy programme through SWALLOW and now he is working towards Level 5. He says 'I can now read recipes to cook at home, my texts and my letters.  It has changed my life in lots of ways by making me feel more confident and independent.'
