Thatcham Town Council is delighted to welcome Swings & Smiles to this year’s Thatcham Family Fun Day on Sunday 28th June as part of their fantastic community outreach work 💜

They will be hosting a dedicated SEND (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities) tent, offering a quiet, calm space for families who may need a break from the busy atmosphere.

This inclusive space is designed to ensure that everyone can enjoy the day comfortably, with a supportive environment for children and families who benefit from a little extra calm.

We’re proud to work with organisations like Swings & Smiles to help make our events welcoming for all.
