Medical manufacturer aids Swindon community groups with critical sponsorship support

As part of its efforts to create a positive impact beyond its commercial operations, leading medical device company Vygon UK recently made a significant contribution to the Swindon community by donating to two local organisations dedicated to sport and the arts.

The company, headquartered in the Pierre Simonet Building in Gateway North, Swindon, donated T-shirts to 2Step Dance Academy’s troupe during their trip to Disneyland Paris, helping create a sense of unity and pride as they showcased their talent on an international stage.

It is also the proud sponsor of the 2024 Swindon & District Community Football League Cup Competition, a contribution which has been met with enthusiasm and appreciation.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Vygon UK, whose commitment to excellence in the healthcare industry mirrors the dedication and passion we see on the football field, as our new cup sponsor,” says Martyn Rosewell, chairman and joint cup secretary of the Swindon & District Community Football League. “This sponsorship will help us continue to grow and improve our competitions, benefiting our entire football community. We are looking forward to working together and making this season the best yet.”

Although Vygon UK regularly supports charities – it raised funds for PINTT and Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) at events in Southampton and Stirling earlier this year – its contribution to 2Step Dance Academy and the Swindon & District Community Football League is the first step on its journey to supporting more groups and charities in Swindon.

“At Vygon we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact and positive contribution to society. Local clubs and community groups are often the beating heart of their communities, and we believe supporting them is a powerful way to give back,” says Katie Kingston, Head of Marketing and Communications at Vygon UK.

“Having seen the impact our donations have had to date – proof that even small contributions can have a big effect – we are committed to building even stronger community connections in 2025. Our aim is to support more local charities and groups through fundraising, gifting and sponsorships, and by sharing our time and resources, next year.”
