12th September 2026 is the date for this year’s Ride and Stride event. As part of the 75th Anniversary celebrations we are aiming to raise £44,000. This would make the grand total raised since 1984 an amazing £3million! So far there are at least 43 churches that have pledged to be open for visitors, perhaps you know another that would like to join in…
Why not get some friends together and ride,cycle or walk between local churches and help to raise some money for this wonderful cause. Further information on the website. Link in bio 🔗
