Swindon Makerspace is a non-profit organisation (CIC) – as such, we’re wholly reliant on membership fees and donations to sustain ourselves. Membership fees pay the day-to-day bills (we hope!) and donations help us out with the infrastructure and large cost items.
Several people and companies have been kind enough to help out financially with our initial fit-out, without them we would not be here today. Many also continue to donate or loan items of equipment and their time. With this page we thank all of our donors – come in and visit for a cuppa any time!
