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 healthcare professional or GP to contact us.

If you would like to refer someone to Common Wheel, please contact the relevant member of staff to make an appointment. You can download and print a referral form or ask us to send you one.
