The Gilbert Richards Centre, Coventry

What do we do at the Gilbert Richards Centre?

The Centre offers a wide variety of activities to interest you and provide friendship and fun. Many are in group settings with a leader. We're looking to alleviate loneliness and isolation by having a centre where anyone can attend, learn new skills and meet new friends. The Centre is run by volunteers.
