About
The Build-A-Bike course provides clients an opportunity to disassemble and re-build a used bicycle, learning basic bicycle mechanics along the way at a gentle pace and finishing with a polished and well-running bike that they can keep for themselves as well as 3 AQA certificates. The programme is a two week 3-hour a day course, spread across two Tuesdays and takes place in central Bath.
By building and repairing bikes, we believe that this provides a vast range of opportunities for vulnerable people to get involved. By taking part in the scheme, clients can build confidence, learn practical and people skills, and build on their self-esteem.
Clients who have been on the course have gained experience of working within a workplace, with some clients going on to further education, full-time employment, and part-time employment. Other clients have been signposted to other wellbeing courses with partner agencies. Our clients have fed back to us that they feel a sense of accomplishment and an increase in self-esteem following the completion of the course.
The course will discontinue as of October 2025 but you can refer clients until the end of August 2025.
