Read a Case Study of one of our previous participants on the Cycling for Wellbeing Course. Download the story of Kulsum from Newham here

In a perfect society, deaf people would be able to readily access mainstream services and have equal opportunities to their hearing peers.  However, this is not the case.  This is why deafPLUS exists. 

deafPLUS vision is an accessible world for deaf people, with barriers to participation and opportunity removed. 
Their mission is to empower deaf people to take control of their own lives, by developing their potential and supporting them to achieve independence.   

The Canals and Rivers Trust- Lots of great information to help you explore the waterways of East London and beyond, including a volunteering program you can join. A great way to feed your wellbeing.  

The City and Hackney Wellbeing Network (CHWBN) offers high-quality free support to help people prevent the onset of mental health problems and alleviate issues such as stress, anxiety and low mood. 

They also offer support to adults with severe and enduring mental health conditions including a fantastic range of courses and classes. 

We love this program on BBC i-player- The Truth About...Improving your mental health. 

This program looks scientifically, through research and experiments into the impact of physical exercising and brain stimulation on our sense of wellbeing...all of which are elements incorporated into our Cycling for Wellbeing program. 

They also  talk to people who have experienced the befits of social prescribing and the positive impact that being referred to programs such as the cycling for wellbeing program can have on people. 

We think we must be on the right track! 

The Health Tree at St Margaret's House: a variety of engaging, fun, life enhancing wellbeing activities for adults of all ages- low cost, affordable classes, workshops, talks and events in yoga, Pilates, dance, diet, acupuncture and more!

The Health Tree is inspired by our very own Mulberry Tree in our St Margaret’s House garden and like our healthy and resilient tree this project will bring you opportunities to benefit from activities that improve physical, mental, energetic and emotional wellbeing.

Our Parklife- Connecting local people to the Olympic Park through volunteering, training and employment. They run amazing historical guided tours of the Park and an awesome Volunteer program.
The Cycling for Wellbeing program is influenced by the NHS 5 Steps to Wellbeing. Many other resources are also available to look into, such as the Mood Self Assesment and information about the mindfulness techniques taught on the program.

Peddle My Wheels for those who dont yet have their own bike

These guys have a nice Try Before You Bike scheme so you can test a bike for a month and see if it works for you and then either give it back or continue, or even try another style bike for yourself.

They also have a Public bike markets are a great opportunity to pick up an affordable, serviced child or adult second hand bike.
