CCH & NHS ELFT partnership presents Concorde Bike Hub

8th September 2020 CC Hackney began delivery work and the links with Compass Wellbeing & NHS East London Foundation Trust. Prevention is preferred over cure, It's about mental health, ongoing adult sports club life sessions; attendees benefiting from bike rides and/or *football plus the social get togethers. The provision is based at our Concorde Centre station on Kingsmead Estate E9 and has been planned as one pilot for the NHS Triple Aim Project agenda. It is expected to be a model example for other positive and tailored clubs to follow - not just cycling see *In Tune FC; looking to help people at risk of deteriorating mental health near home, in their own neighbourhoods. CCH - serving in the community as an ongoing club that supports those feeling mental health difficulties, also people who could use some assistance during recovery from illness.

Summer programme of Activities - CCH “encouraging and developing riders from the whole community in the area”

Two sessions per day on Saturdays and Wednesdays have been running from CCH's Concorde Bike Club on Kingsmead Estate. These have been supported by Young Hackney to great effect and appreciation by our participants. 

The pilot bike maintenance and cycle appreciation club at Victorian Grove Estate N16 - these have been running four morning sessions on Thursdays. Supported by Hackney Housing and the Council's Resident Participation Team, many locals came together with CC Hackney to get their cycles repaired and tuned up. A friendly area with interesting people from all backgrounds - good place! 

While we were out cycling with the group parents Marhawit & Milete borrowed cycles to practice with at their own speed.  

Marhawit learns fast - 30 minutes in and she was coasting and gliding!
