“This is the first time in 3 years I have been able to exercise and been given the opportunity to move. It is such a good feeling. Both Clare and Sarah are lovely”

“I feel both proud and privileged to be the Patron of this centre. It is a brilliant idea, and like many a brilliant idea it seems simple and obvious –but only in retrospect, once someone has had the thought and pushed it with determination. All kudos to Prof David Wilkinson.“
