Training Placements

Our Bike Shop is currently open for trainee placements.

We run 12-week training placements in our social enterprise to help build employment skills and provide routes into work.

Our placements are for adults who are out of work, or in jobs that they do not enjoy, and are struggling with their mental health.   

If you are a City and Hackney resident and are interested in a Bike Trainee placement please email: training@centreforbetterhealth.org.uk

Better Health Hub Courses

At the Centre for Better Health, we focus on hands-on activities and crafts.

Our Hub offers a range of creative, movement and therapeutic groups and courses. We design our courses in a way that encourages you to learn at your own pace, to make 'mistakes' and overcome setbacks, to feel that your skills are valued, and to meet and interact with other people.
