CRICKLADE AND DISTRICT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
We provide sport and leisure facilities to the residents of Cricklade and the surrounding communities. We have a swimming pool and over 10 local schools use this, an indoor climbing wall built from donations, and facilities for many other sports.We are run by a group of volunteers, and saved the centre from closure thanks to the generosity of the local residents and their continuing use.
