Big Conversation

​Let's Talk About the Big Challenges 

Councils across the country, including Swindon, are facing considerable challenges. For example, did you know more children are being taken into care, the number of people living in residential care homes is set to rise dramatically, and funding has also fallen? 

We are inviting everyone to find out more about these pressures, so people can have a better understanding of the soaring demands on our services and the fewer resources we have to deliver them. 

Called the Big Conversation, Swindon Borough Council wants the information to reach as many people as possible, raising awareness and stimulating debate. The illustrated presentation below shows the facts and figures in a way that is easy to understand and prompts discussion. For those wishing to download the presentation or see a text-only version, please see 'Big Conversation Presentation - Alternative Formats' below.
