Mega Skip Day returns to the Cambrian Community Centre

On selected Saturdays each month, Richmond upon Thames host Mega Skip Days. They give Richmond residents the opportunity to dispose of bulky items for free. 

Large skips are placed in different parts of the borough for a few hours at a time. This is in partnership with RHP and Richmond Furniture Scheme, who collect reusable furniture to upcycle and redistribute back into the community. 

On SATURDAY 5TH JULY from 9am-12noon a mega skip will be outside the Cambrian Community Centre on Cambrian Road.

Volunteers Needed

Call out for volunteers to join The Real Junk Food Project

Would you like to be part of a team that helps to reduce food waste and provides healthy low cost food to your local community?

The Real Junk Food Project is looking for confident cooks as well as servers to join their team at the Cambrian Community Centre on Wednesday mornings. You will be joining a dynamic team that creates healthy lunches for 50-70 guests per session, creating dishes from the food donations that arrive that morning. This is food that is rescued from the supermarkets and other local businesses that would otherwise have gone to waste. Our community cafes operate on a Pay As You Feel basis and are open to all members of our community.

Our team of chefs aim to create a soup, two main courses (at least one vegetarian) and a dessert each session. You will get the chance to be creative, and will learn techniques of how to cook dishes in large quantities if you don’t already have experience in catering. Our servers may be serving meals, pouring teas and coffees, or helping with the washing up.

The core hours are 9-11:30 for cooking and 11:30-13:30 for serving and the team are usually all packed up by 2pm.

If you are interested please contact Sarah at trjfp.twickenham@gmail.com or pop into the café one Wednesday for a chat.

New equipment for the gym

The Cambrian Community Centre would like to send a heart felt THANK YOU to the Victoria Foundation for the grant they gave the centre recently. The grant has enabled the centre to purchase a MOTOmed muvi to support gym users who have physical disabilities, neurological conditions and or are recovering from surgery or a fall.

The MOTOmed Muvi provides motor assistance to enable gym users the option to include all limbs in their exercise program with or without motor assistance. Our dedicated gym team are excited to include the MOTOmed muvi in more programs for more gym users in the coming weeks and months and we hope that it will make a great addition to the gym equipment list.

Please contact our gym team for more information on joining, restarting or leaning more about how exercise can benefit your everyday life.
