Creating opportunities for vulnerable people to train, gain confidence and get a positive lift back into independence and employment.
Build-a-Bike is a four-week project-based course that has been developed in collaboration with Julian House service users.
The course is intended for people with a history of homelessness, an offending background, substance misuse needs or long-term unemployment.
Build-a-Bike is a hands-on course that teaches all the skills needed to safely maintain a bike.
Participants work with a workshop mechanic to fully dismantle a bike and rebuild it from its component parts.
One-to-one support is available to make sure that people get the most out of their time on the course.
Once the four-week course is completed, participants get to keep the bike that they have built along with a portfolio containing records of their work and an attendance certificate, as well as AQA Certificates.
