Common Wheel
Common Wheel supports people with mental illness by providing meaningful activities. We have four projects. Our bike project supports people in repairing and recycling old bikes into 'good as new' bikes for our clients to ride away and keep. Our music project supports people in singing, playing and composing music. Our visual arts project ‘Carnival Club’ supports people in designing and producing large scale art pieces to be displayed in various parades in Glasgow. Finally our climbing project runs at The Climbing Academy in Maryhill. Our projects aim to improve mental wellbeing, and support people in learning new skills.
All our projects aim to improve mental wellbeing, increase skills, reduce isolation and challenge stigma.
