Here at the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre in Chippenham we care for many and varied collections about life in Wiltshire, past and present. Accessibility and inclusion are important to us and we are continually working to improve the accessibility of our services and access to our collections both online and in person.
We are setting up a co-creation working group to improve how you can access and navigate our website and services, ensuring they work better for everyone.
Through regular online workshops, you’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences, test new ideas, and directly influence changes to make WSHC’s digital space more intuitive, easy to use and accessible.
We want to ensure that everyone who is interested in joining the group is able to do so. Please let us know about any access needs you may have, and we will work with you to ensure these are not a barrier to your involvement. You can contact us via email: accessibilitywshc@wiltshire.gov.uk or by telephone: 01249 705500.
Our first meeting is scheduled on Tuesday 25th February, 7-8pm online, and is open to anyone who would like to find out more.

Alongside our sessions in Chippenham (Monday lunchtimes) and Royal Wootton Bassett (Tuesday evenings), the Sparkly Singers meet every Thursday evening from 8:00pm at the Lansdowne Hall in Derry Hill.
