Suffolk Historic Churches Trust Bike Ride
The Annual Sponsored Ride and Stride is a national event, held every second Saturday in September when cyclists and walkers all round the country raise money for their local county Churches Trust.
The idea started in Aldeburgh 40 years ago, and consistently Suffolk has headed the table of funds raised.
Ride and Stride is run entirely by volunteers and is inter-denominational, with participants sponsored for each place of worship visited between 9.00am and 5.00pm on Ride and Stride Day or with a donation, regardless of the number of churches visited.
The money raised by each cyclist or walker is shared equally between the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust and the place of worship nominated by the participant.
As important as the participants are the many volunteers who give up the day to man the churches and chapels and sign in the cyclists and walkers as they arrive. Hundreds of places of worship are manned during the day and that takes quite a team of volunteers! It is a real community effort that is the lifeblood of the Trust.
