About The Chamwell Centre Charity


The Chamwell Centre Charity, established in 2021 and opened by HRH The Princess Royal, aims to enhance the lives of children and adults with disabilities and additional needs in Gloucestershire. We offer accessible leisure facilities including a hydrotherapy pool, soft play area, outdoor adventure playground, and community café. The Centre provides opportunities for social interaction and volunteer experience, fostering inclusivity and community integration. It serves as a safe space where individuals, regardless of their disabilities, can participate in activities that promote physical, mental, and social well-being, thereby empowering them to improve their skills and quality of life.
