Swindon Care Show Revamped. Three entrepreneurs have come together to re-launch The Care Show (Swindon). And to take it into the future as a regular annual event to showcase the best services in social care and wellbeing.
Hannah Edwards, Kevin Griffiths and Janet Shreeve, all have their own businesses. Further they all have an interest in, and knowledge of, the confusing sector of social care.
They know too that many people will need care in their lives. And that there are many ethical providers of care and wellbeing services in Swindon, Wiltshire and the South West. But this show will also introduce other care services around general health and wellbeing. Something that’s becoming more and more popular for everyone in all walks of life.
Experienced in care
Before I ran my own administration and social media company, I worked as a carer for several years,’ said Hannah Edwards, who lives in Swindon.
Working as carer means I saw the good, the bad and the ugly. For me, I loved my job. I loved working getting to know wonderful individuals who needed professional support to maintain their dignity and independence. I was proud to be a person who could help them live their best lives. Taking over this event is simply a natural step for me.’
Alongside her is Kevin Griffiths, who lives in Malmesbury, and has a background in food, hospitality and event management.
‘I’d come to a period of change in my life,’ he said. ‘This opportunity came to build something from the ground up which will make a difference to people. It will highlight the amazing care and wellbeing services that we have in the community and beyond.
For too long, too many have viewed social care and wellbeing have as second class services. When in fact they’re of the utmost importance for us all.’
The third director of The Care Show is social care expert and professional care adviser Janet Shreeve, who has worked in the sector for over twenty years. ‘To have an event which is open to relevant businesses in all aspects of care and wellbeing and also for potential clients interested in all these services and products is wonderful. I’m proud to be supporting this event and to be part of the management team,’ Janet said.
Beginnings
It, the Care Show, that is, began earlier this year. But the original founder had to step away and was looking for someone to take on the concept.
The Care Show (Swindon) takes place on Thursday January 29 2026. It will be at the Doubletree Hilton hotel at Junction 16. The headline sponsor for this show is SWITCH (Swindon and Wiltshire Innovative Technology Care Hub).
The show is free to attend though it’s asked that you register to attend.
Who is the show for?
Anyone can attend. So if you work in the care or wellbeing sectors then this is for you. But also, if you want to find out more about what’s on offer in the world of social care and wellbeing in Swindon, Wiltshire and beyond.
