Facilities and Services Update
Planned updates for July
Facilities
Work is almost complete on restoring hot water in our main Oriam building. Parts are now here and have been craned into place, we are just waiting on final installation and testing. Thank you for all of your patience whilst we get this fixed, sourcing the parts and specialist installation equipment has been quite a logistical challenge.
Systems
We are preparing for some exciting updates for our bookings and memberships. As part of this we will be updating our online security, to help protect your personal data on our website and app. In the next few weeks we may ask you to update your Oriam password to meet the new security criteria. Please keep your app notifications on and watch your emails for further details and instructions rolling out later this month.
Price Changes for 2025-2026
We are committed to maintaining high standards across our facilities, programmes, and services—and to investing in the spaces and support that help you stay active.
To continue delivering this level of quality, and make improvements for the future, we will be introducing a modest price increase across the majority of Oriam services, effective from 1st August 2025. We will contact members and regular customers in early July with specific details on their individual fees and subscriptions. You can also find more details in our news update here.
