We’ve all sat there watching the horrific News thinking “How can we help?” So with this in mind, ATBShop is going to be an official collection point in Swindon for the Grenfell Tower disaster.
It’s no surprise that ATBShop is rallying around supporting another charity but Diana, one of the owners of ATBShop has a special connection with the city. Most of you won’t know that when Diana isn’t running Swindon’s only indoor skate park she’s a presenter in London. The day before the fire she was down working in London. She said, waking up to the horrors of the fire made her feel as if she needed to do something.
After speaking with one of the mothers from the park, who is working as part of a first response team – we all decided at ATBShop that we shall open our warehouse up as a collection point for the people of Swindon who would like to help. “I know there’s lots of you all out there watching the news wanting to help.”
Diana Said – “These people have lost everything, and for the lucky few who have escaped with their lives, they now face an uncertain future. They need our help, love and support.”
Here is where you wonderful people of Swindon can help. Please come an drop off anything which you may feel may help to our ATBShop Skate Warehoue address at Unit 1 Newcombe Drive, Swindon, SN2 1DZ. The collection deadline will be Saturday the 17th of June before 6pm.
