Do you remember those really hot summer days? Well, our amazing Swim Teacher Jo Davis, determined as she is, ran a gruelling 50km in ridiculously hot temperatures in the Forest of Dean, to raise funds for sensory equipment in the Chamwell hydrotherapy pool.

‍

Feedback from our members indicated that in order to improve their enjoyment in the pool, a themed sensory experience would be beneficial. We are hoping that Jo can raise enough funds for Chamwell to purchase the equipment. So far, Jo has raised a fantastic £372.50, and she's keen to go and run another 50kms to raise more funds.  

Can you help Jo too? To donate to this very worthwhile cause, please click here. By following this link, your funds will go to this fundraiser specifically.

‍If you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase your donation by 25% at no additional cost to yourself, by clicking the 'Gift Aid' button on the donation page.

This is the type of Sensory Equipment we are hoping to purchase with your kind donations. To specifically support / celebrate Jo's fabulous run in the hot summer sun, please click here. Don't forget, if you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase your donation by 25% at no additional cost to you by clicking the 'Gift Aid' box on the donation page!

Cader Idris Mountain Race

Ras y Gader, the Cader Idris mountain race, one of the toughest fell races in Wales, and viewed by many as a classic "must do" race. The event starts and finishes in the market town of Dolgellau, at sea level, and climbs almost 3000ft to the summit of Pen y Gader itself. One of the real challenges of the race is the constantly changing terrain, switching from steep metalled roads to flat tracks behind Gwernan lake, pitched steps up the Pony Path, and picking your way among the boulder fields on the final ascent........and then you've got to do it all in reverse!

Welcome to my blog - To all you explorers!  I first found out about the Chamwell Centre Charity as I was looking for hydrotherapy facilities in the area. After more research I really admire what they offer to young children and adults with disabilities and learning difficulties.

Adventure Race South Africa

Many of you who visit the Chamwell Centre will know of (the always cheerful) Julie de Leeuw. Not only is she Chamwell’s Operations Manager, she’s also our in-house ‘pocket rocket’. When most of us are thinking of how we can spend our days away from work relaxing at home or with friends and family, Julie is planning her training schedule. You remember that day last week when it reached 2 degrees Celsius? Well, Julie had her day off and was out kayaking. “Sorry!”, she typed in her text – “my fingers are freezing, I can’t type properly I’m so cold after 40 miles of kayaking”. You see, Julie and her husband Anton are Adventure Racers.
