Cycling4life
Cycling4life applies a different approach to that of many other programmes dedicated to working with young people at risk or at disadvantage. A unique programme that mixes education, fitness and health as well as life skills for young people at most risk.
We are absolutely committed to delivering a groundbreaking new concept that mixes the challenges of education and the issues of social cohesion, interaction and acceptance. Recognizing that lack of self esteem is both a prima-facie cause of social misalignment and anti social behavior as well as being a key factor in inhibiting progressive realisation of ambitions, goals and the full exploitation of personal possibility.
By genuinely issuing a stake holding to EVERY youngster that attends, by seriously backing up their hopes, anxieties and needs, we become part of their team, we are able to prove ourselves worthy of their trust, association and friendship, we value this above all other things.
Succession, belonging, safety and trust working alongside education, teamwork, communication and belief –these are the challenges facing us with every youngster, every day.

PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE
Cycling4life delivers massive improvement in the physical condition of its students by applying regular fitness tests, performance measurements, general conditioning and education about the importance of nutrition and healthy lifestyles.
We expect to improve the fitness and awareness of a healthy lifestyle of every student.
LEARNING BY STEALTH
Due to the nature of the students and their condition we invoke a process of education “by other means”. This creates a winning cohort, allowing for the delivery of literacy, numeracy, science and lifeskills.
