Who we are CC Hackney - encouraging and developing riders from the whole community in the area. Cycling Club Hackney is dedicated to promoting cycling and cycle sport for all levels and ages. Our main club rides run every Sunday, where members and newcomers meet and socialise - check the calendar for upcoming events. We have an active youth section catering for young people between the ages 8 and 18, as well as our senior and women's representation. Our popular circuit race series the CC Hackney Primaveras runs every spring at Lea Valley Velopark, and we also organise and run men's and women's road races. CC Hackney is run by volunteers. There is an expectation for all members to do their bit from time to time but especially being on point when the club has a calendar event to deliver. On Tuesday 8th September 2020 CC Hackney began delivery work and the live partnership with NHS East London Foundation Trust. In short prevention is better than cure, 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 see In Tune FC) 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.
