Longer-term ambition · investment needed
Reopening community fitness & wellbeing facilities
The Chai Centre’s gym, sauna and steam facilities have been closed since 2019. Local residents have repeatedly expressed a wish to see them reopen.
Our first priority is to stabilise the café operation, creating a foundation for the next phase. Reopening the fitness facilities would require an initial estimated investment of more than £200,000, alongside a specialist team to assess, repair, equip and manage them.
Discuss investment or specialist support ↗These are proposals, not funded or confirmed projects. The gym, sauna and steam facilities are not currently open; reopening depends on funding, technical assessments and a sustainable operating plan.
