"Swindon has a great tradition of voluntary activity and it is good to see it continuing.
"I will be joining Swindon Volunteers and Swindon Employees In The Community Network at Twigs on Monday, to support their attempts to show business leaders the positive effects that volunteering can have on their organisation and their employees."
