The Cambrian Community Centre helps you live longer, says national newspaperDear supporter, We would like to share that we featured in yesterdays The Telegraph newspaper. In a round-up of places in Britain where people live longest, the Cambrian Community Centre is highlighted as providing ideal conditions for boosting your longevity. “What is the secret to a long, happy, healthy life?” asks The Telegraph on 13 April, and includes Richmond among top 10 spots nationwide where locals routinely live well into their 80s, according to the Office of National Statistics. Sociability initiatives, opportunities to get active, and places to take healthy detoxifying meals, are key, the national daily says, and singles out the Cambrian Community Centre as offering just these qualities. “For some co-mingling, seek out the ‘Chatter and Natter’ table aimed at reducing loneliness – the Cambrian Community Centre hosts one every Wednesday (11.30am-1.30pm),” the paper recommends, and provides a link to the Centre’s website and details of our upcoming refurbishment project. Social isolation is statistically linked to shorter life spans, the paper adds. Tight knit communities, low stress and a daily sense of purpose also help you live longer. Richmond’s average female life expectancy is 86.3 years, and 82.5 years for men.
