Surrey Churches Ride & Stride

- Address Chichester Road Croydon, CR0 5NQ, United Kingdom
The Trust runs the Ride & Stride (on bikes or walking) on the second Saturday of September each year to raise money for both the Trust and for participating churches, with half the money raised going to each. Raising money is ever more important as repairs to churches rather came to a halt during the pandemic but the need has not gone away.
It is open to everyone to take part, whether church-goers or not, bikers, hikers and other visitors, whether by car, mobility scooter or horse.
Our riders and striders will need sponsorship for their efforts and we have already identified that Jan and David Williams are going to take part. If you would like to sponsor them you can either:
Send a cheque to the parish office with your name and if you can add GiftAid
Make a donation to the trust by going to the website (www.surreychurchespreservationtrust.org), clicking the ‘Make a Donation’ button and following the Just Giving instructions. But make sure you add your name and church in the Message box at the end
