Our projects
Common Wheel offers four areas of activity: bike recycling, music groups, visual arts workshops ('Carnival Club') and climbing. The specific objectives of our activities are to:
- Learn new skills
All of the workshops provide an opportunity for participants to develop life skills such as confidence, communication, following instructions and team work, as well as specific skills. - Reduce isolation
Isolation is a common problem experienced by people living with mental illness. We give people a reason to get up in the morning and connect with their local community. - Improve self-belief
One of the largest barriers to moving on, either to employment or another vocational activity is lack of self-belief; our project empowers people and shows them what they can achieve. - Improve mental wellbeing
All of our activities help to improve our participants' overall wellbeing and help them to re-integrate into the community.
If you would like to join one of our projects, please ask your mental health professional or support worker contact us.
