SWIPE – Making a Difference in Slough Since 1997

SWIPE have run many innovative and award winning projects for Slough and the wider community as well as supported many local Slough organisations to achieve their own goals.

SWIPE is committed to helping those at risk of exclusion, particularly young people, develop their potential through music, the arts, sport or community service.

SWIPE has been a registered charity since 1999 in one of the UK’s most deprived unitary authorities and in an area that has the most ethnically mixed population outside London. Many of those helped by SWIPE are from low-income or single-parent families who may be at risk of turning their back on their families, their education and society as a whole.

SWIPE aims to bring young people and the wider community from diverse backgrounds together in a safe and structured environment to develop their creativity, focus, teamworking ability, leadership and mentoring skills and to offer them positive experiences, such as music tuition, that they may not otherwise have.
