Sarah Olney MP Visit

The Cambrian Centre was delighted to welcome Sarah Olney MP for Richmond Park to the Centre recently. Sarah took part in our Friday drawing group. She was very impressed with the creativity on display. She also visited the Cambrian gym and saw our new pieces of equipment in operation. She was interested to learn how the gym contributes to health and well being in the area and in particular how the gym offers a bespoke rehabilitation and reconditioning service to users.

The Cambrian gym is open Monday to Friday 9-3 and Saturdays 10-2. Drawing takes place every Friday 10-12.30. Please contact us for further information
