Snapped: Liz Hurley Visits Swindon

Model, actress and businesswoman Liz Hurley has opened a new respite care centre at the Brunel shopping Centre in Swindon town centre.

The Austin Power's beauty is patron of the charity Hop Skip Jump, who are behind the new facility. 

It is hoped that the centre, which is the first of it's kind in the country, will provide children and adults with disabilities a place to stay while their carers and families do their shopping. 

Speaking about the new centre, Liz commented: "I've been involved with the Hop Skip Jump foundation for a number of years now and what I've learned from the fabulous ladies who run the foundation is that when you have a child with disabilities it's not only the child who needs some help and assistance, but the families who look after them too. It's a pioneering scheme and I'm very excited to be a part of it."
