What care for adults costs
In 2024/25, the latest year the government has published, Swindon Borough Council spent £113.4m on care for older people and for adults with a disability or a mental illness, before what people pay towards their own care and money from the NHS. What some of it costs:

From the council’s own return to government, published in the adult social care finance report. Spending is before income, and for 2024/25, so it differs from this year’s budget above. The weekly and hourly costs are the government’s own averages for the council, not spending divided by people.
What care for children costs
In 2024/25, Swindon Borough Council spent £43.5m on children in its care, out of £67.7m on all its services for children and young people. On 31 Mar 2025 it was looking after 307 children:

Across England, a year in a children’s home costs councils about £387,000 a child: our own sum, done the National Audit Office’s way, dividing what councils spend on children’s homes by the children living in them. Councils record this spending in different ways, so we do not work it out for each council. Spending is before income, for 2024/25; the counts are for one day. From the Department for Education’s Section 251 outturn and children looked after statistics.

Still to come for Swindon
For Hammersmith & Fulham, Borough Book also tracks every party’s manifesto pledges, every council payment over £500, Cabinet and Full Council decisions, how this year’s budget gap was closed and a tool to balance next year. Those need the council’s own papers, read by hand, and come here next. See Hammersmith & Fulham.
