2021 Spring time measures:
Dear CC Hackney Members, In terms of cycling with CC Hackney please see the guidelines by following the link to British Cycling here: PDF - 'The Way Forward' here. Main text from NGB British Cycling: Overview Following a meeting with Sport England and other national governing bodies yesterday, British Cycling is now pleased to publish information related to its plans for a return to sanctioned activities and events in England under The Way Forward framework established in June last year. With a number of details still to be confirmed, this information will remain subject to change as we work to manage a safe and responsible return of our activities, however, we are keen to share as much detail as possible to support our clubs, volunteers, event organisers and other stakeholders in their planning. We are expecting to receive definitive guidance for grassroots sport from Sport England and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on the week commencing Monday 22 March. There remains uncertainty in a number of key areas including travel restrictions, indoor activity, spectating and facility use, and a full suite of revised guidance documents will be published once these details have been confirmed. However, with the information available, British Cycling is pleased to now be able to map out the likely stages of a return to activity in the section below. British Cycling roadmap The guidance we are publishing today has been created following confirmation that all British Cycling-sanctioned activity falls under the Government’s definition of organised sport, provided that all involved follow the relevant Covid-secure protocols. Informal activity – such as going for a bike ride with friends – will remain subject to the Government’s general guidance on exercise and social distancing. Step 1 From March 8

Our National Health Service has been under immense pandemic pressure all through the winter. Although the end of this pandemic seems to be sight and the worst of it has apparently passed, it's doing the right thing to stay careful when out and about. Our hospitals and staff are still under the cosh and do not need any more casualties, they are dealing with a backlog and ongoing Covid admissions. Members should keep focussed on the situation and the current rules to help ensure we do our bit to come out of this state of play safely. Measures/habits stay in place; social distance, wash hands, wear a mask when inside away from home - continue to protect the NHS and front line staff/services and ourselves. Working together we're getting through to good times ahead, keep it up. Best wishes and stay safe, Keir Apperley - CC Hackney Manager & lead coach -------------- Who we are CC Hackney - encouraging and developing riders from the whole community in the area. On Tuesday 8th September 2020 CC Hackney began delivery work and the live partnership with NHS East London Foundation Trust. Prevention is better (and more cost effective) than cure, this is to do with mental health in the form of ongoing adult sessions for those benefiting from a weekly bike ride and social get together. The provision is based at our Concorde Centre station on Kingsmead Estate E9 and has been planned as one pilot for the NHS Triple Aim Project. It is expected to be a model example for other positive and tailored clubs to follow (not just cycling) NHS ELFT Triple Aim; looking to help people at risk of deteriorating mental health near home, in their own neighbourhoods. CCH - serving in the community as an ongoing club that supports those feeling mental health difficulties, also people who could use some assistance during recovery from illness. December 2019 Merger - Interlinkx CiC has rebranded by transitioning into 'Cycling Club Hackney CIO' (CIO standing for Charitable Incorporated Organisation). Meanwhile the existing club, which was an unincorporated association, has donated its name and assets to the new charity, therefore merging Cycling Club Hackney and Interlinkx CIC into a single entity with charity status to further enable our capacity to deliver positive projects for all in Hackney. Registered Charity Number 1186757 2019 Supported by the William Wates Memorial Trust Cycling Club Hackney is proud to announce our latest funding supporter; the William Wates Memorial Trust. This is coming into effect from September 2019 with a three year agreement for the club to extend and continue developing its community outreach aspects. Fittingly the key fund raising activity for the Trust is an event called Le loop (or the Wates fund raisers Tour de France!) The Wates Group is a family owned construction company founded in 1897 that established the WWMT fund in 1998. We are excited by the prospect of being in a better position to be more able to realise our shared aims of reaching the whole community; cycling and quality sporting opportunities for all in Hackney and East London. 2018 Hackney Sports Club of the Year, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015, 2010 & 2009 London Youth Games Cycling Champions, 2011 Tour de l'Ain Cyclo team prize winners, 2011 National Masters Road Race Champions (cat.
