More than 2,000 attend free fireworks display in Swindon

The free event was organised by Central Swindon North Parish and was attended by members of the community and The Kelly Foundation.

The charity, which offers support for mental health challenges, expressed its appreciation for the event, particularly noting its accessibility given the high ticket prices at some organised events.

A spokesperson for the charity said: "With the high ticket prices at some organised events, it was wonderful to see the Parish put on such a fantastic evening for the whole community."

The Kelly Foundation, established in 2022, provides free early support for adults in the Swindon area to prevent mental health crises and promote well-being.

This includes offering advocacy and guidance, counselling and life coaching, and help with mental health assessments.

The charity's approach is to listen, understand, and create personalised plans for each individual.

Their services extend to hiring specific skills and techniques they do not have in-house, assisting clients in finding the right benefits, joint visits to Universal Credit, GP visits, and liaising with drug and alcohol specialists.
