Who are we?
Bikes and Minds is a mental health charity set up in order to provide support for those suffering from mental health problems through practical applications that seek to bring people together in a comfortable and friendly environment.
Our key operational activity is through our management of ‘The Bike Pit’, a community garage whereby individuals have a place to come together in order to work on and store their motorcycles.
It’s through The Bike Pit and other projects that Bikes and Minds run that we hope to provide a hands-on support system that differs from the current talks-based/mindfulness groups currently available, as well as to seek to tackle the stigma that can surround mental health.
Our Vision Statement
‘Through motorcycling activities, our vision is to support mental health; breaking down barriers of loneliness to offer a support system for those that may be suffering; showing that mental health can impact all of us, and removing the stigma that surrounds it.’
Our Mission Statement
‘We will deliver a quality motorcycling self-service whereby people are enabled to work, learn and develop; in an environment that supports their personal and mental wellbeing; and that promotes involvement through various activities in order to bring people together to nourish and support them.’
