The Cambrian Community Centre is looking for a volunteer Treasurer and Trustees

This is a great opportunity to contribute to a local charity working to improve wellbeing and social cohesion through health and leisure activities.

Our Centre provides a programme of community activities, hires of community rooms for other groups to meet and our community gym has a specialism in providing rehabilitative exercise programmes and support.

We are looking for suitably experienced people to take on the role of Trustee and in particular one person suitable for Treasurer, when some current trustees and our Treasurer stand down in the Summer of 2021.

For further information please contact David Lemon, Centre Manager on manager@cambriancentre.org                                      

We are delighted that the gym has reopened today (12th April). The booking system is working well via this website- Please use the “Book Your Gym Session” button to book a session by following the instructions. If you need any further assistance please contact the gym on 0208 332 1102 or the Centre office on 0208 948 3351. The Covid security steps that were in place at the end of last year remain in operation. In particular this includes a one way system with gym entry from Cambrian Rd (via the black metal gate.) Please wait under the the green gazebo for your session to start. We are looking forward to welcoming you all back in soon.

Victoria Anderson is starting a new “Full Body Workout” class on Fridays 9am-10am. This will be a 45 minute exercise session followed by a 15 minute chat and advice to desal with any specific issues/concerns .

The cost is £6 per session and this will be launching on Friday 5th March. A great way to keep those fitness levels up whilst we await the gym reopening!

Hi all, We hope you are well! – Following the recent government announcements we are planning to reopen the gym for users from Monday 12th April.

Covid security measures that we had in place prior to our closure (limits to numbers, pre – booking via this website, one hour slots) will remain in place. This is all subject to the continuing drop in infection rates and we will of course keep you informed if plans change.

Following the announcement re Tier 4 restrictions in December and with no current plan to reduce these restrictions for Richmond as we move into the New Year we will be unfortunately continuing with the current closure of the Community Centre and gym.

We are awaiting news on the small of number of activity groups that have been permitted to continue – Largely those providing services and support for under 18s. The gym team will be meeting virtually next week to plan a small programme of online classes and support that we will offered during this enforced closure period. A newsletter outlining this programme will be sent out in the week of 4th January and details posted on this website.

Once again we send our apologies to all Centre users and gym members and hope you will bear with us during this period of disruption.

Have the happiest New Year that you can in the circumstances and we look forward to seeing you all again soon! Here’s to a better year in 2021!
