Call
0800 40 87 656
Help is available for older people and people with disabilities to convert one TV to digital. “Help is here – call us.”
If you’re eligible, the Help Scheme will explain digital TV clearly and simply; tell you about the options available; install what you need in your home; and make sure you’re happy with how it works.
People (especially those from BME groups) are eligible for the help scheme:
- Those over 75
- Those who have lived in a care home for six months or more
- Those who get (or could get) certain disability benefits
- Those who are registered blind or partially sighted
Everyone can provide a “helping hand” by referring people they know (neighbours, friends, relatives, etc) from the above groups to the Help Scheme.
Your feedback is encouraged to help the Digital Switchover Team

 Shirley Ludford, Station manager.
Highworth has celebrated its own Year of Culture in fine style! Their launch concert at St Michael's church last week represented the widest range of talent, with an audience of 250 enjoying music from a 10 year old violinist to an 86 year old, smock-wearing singer. Poets to established bands. This year will replicate that diversity with events from a Chinese Dragon day, Medaevil Day, concerts, displays, and literally something for everyone! We also look forward also to the first Highworth Heat of the annual Swindon Talent competition on 4th June. Lisen out for regular features on SWINDON 105.5 and read more on this website. Two posts at SWINDON 105.5 We're delighted that as partners in the local Future Jobs Fund initiative, a national Government initiative through Job Centre Plus, to provide opportunities for young people to gain paid work opportunities, we've appointed two posts - one technincal and one promotions and admin. The two males each in their early 20's will support the station as well as learn new skills to help them in their bid for full employment.
