Ashington Choi Kwang Do 

At Ashington CKD we aim to teach this martial art as a practical and easy way to learn self-defence techniques that are suitable for people of all ages and abilities. It is an inclusive activity and even many with disabilities can participate and get much from the training.

Choi Kwang Do is a fun and exciting way to get and keep fit, to lose weight and firm up, to improve balance and coordination, to increase flexibility, to aid and improve concentration, as well as to promote longevity. This is done in a friendly, safe and fun learning environment.

We are now based at St. Andrew's Church Hall

About Us

Cycling4Everyone (North East) limited, is a social enterprise operating as a cycle training provider and active travel advocate aiming to promote and support the increase of safe cycling through Bikeability cycle training (the new cycling proficiency test), bike repairs and teaching cyclists to fix their bikes - keeping cyclists’ bikes safe and bikes in good order. Registering for Companies House in 2019, C4E became a going concern through the Hirst Park Project in 2022.

Background to the Ashington Cycle Hub
During 2020/21 ‘Cycle With Jan’ (Jan Chisholm - C4E director and founder) ran a number of cycle training courses for local residents (particularly for asylum seekers and job seekers). This activity was initially funded by Northumberland County Council and Northumberland County of Sanctuary. Both funders recognised the need and potential for a cycle maintenance service, cycling training and development in Ashington - particularly the Hirst Park area. These activities facilitated dialogue with Full Circle Food Project and the outcome achieved: C4E was offered the FREE use of some workshop space for our Hub to operate on a Tuesday 10am - 3pm. C4E further tested the demand with a one-off Dr Bike session (funded by another project) offering free bike repair. The large numbers attending in January 2022, not typically a busy time of year in the cycling world, provided us with strong evidence of the demand from the Hirst Park area for a more permanent cycle repair workshop. Following an offer from the Full Circle, the free use of their workshop on a Tuesday, a mechanic was secured by C4E, (paid for by the Full Circle) to open a bike repair workshop. The mechanic and C4E director Jan (volunteering) attended every week to develop the project further, starting C4E’s journey for putting a new Cycle Hub in Ashington utilising the Full Circle Food workshop and Hirst Park’s free outdoor spaces, which offer an excellent safe cycle training area.
