The Swindon Town Community Foundation has acquired its first wheelchair-accessible minibus.
The foundation promotes sports participation, education, health, and social inclusion across all age groups in the region through a range of programmes and community outreach.
It said the minibus will allow it to expand its outreach across Swindon and surrounding areas, helping more people access its programmes, and provide transport for participants who previously faced barriers to engagement.
"It means we can transport more people than ever before, including those with mobility challenges, to our programmes and events.
"This will greatly enhance our ability to support vulnerable groups, whether it's delivering sports programmes for children, bringing seniors to community activities, or assisting schools with educational trips."
The minibus was made possible by contributions from the Swindon Town FC Business Group, Swindon Town Official Supporters Club, TrustSTFC, EFL in the Community, EFL Sky Bet Building Foundation Fund, and local companies with sponsor boards at Foundation Park.
Mr Hewlett added: "We are incredibly thankful to everybody who contributed to the fundraising efforts for this new minibus."
