Do you reccomend DHI?
Hi, I am Paul, a volunteer at DHI and would just like to share my experience while helping out each week. Everyone is an individual and as such needs an assessment of his or her own particular needs. It is not always straightforward and DHI does not provide everything so where appropriate clients are referred to another specialist agency [...]
Thanks :-)
I'm sad to say that my time for being involved with the Let Me Be Frank project at Swindon DHI has come to an end :-( When I agreed to be involved with this project, I had no idea what was in store for me and I was a bit worried about whether I would be the right person for the job.

I'm so pleased that after just 3 weeks, a good number of clients have shown an interest in sharing their experiences and stories and the website is starting to look good, with lots of contributions and content.

Things seem to be getting better . The way I see it, rehabilitation works, depending on the individual and what is they want or are looking for. For me I have found [...]

New Computers are Installed!
It was really frustrating in December to hear that the new computers had been delayed and they wouldn't be installed until the New Year. However, I'm very happy to be at the DHI today, where Emma & Matt have worked hard to make sure that all the new equipment has been installed and is all working for the benefit of the Swindon DHI [...]
