Suffolk Churches Ride and Stride - Saturday 13 September
Walkers, cyclists, runners and vintage or classic car owners are invited to sign up to join others who love Suffolk and history at the annual September event, organised by Suffolk Historic Churches Trust (SHCT). Last year, the day’s fundraising raised £200,000 and, from the proceeds, the SHCT gave grants to Suffolk’s historic churches, chapels and meeting houses who need to make urgent repairs or improvements to their buildings.
Thousands of people across the country will take part in this event, which began in Suffolk in 1982. Over 500 Suffolk churches are involved and most are open to welcome participants with refreshments. As they journey on the route they have chosen, cyclists, walkers and runners will meet others taking part including families, local history lovers, church supporters and those who just enjoy an annual trip around the villages and towns of Suffolk.
Sponsor forms are now available. Full details are available on their website: www.shct.org.uk. Car owners should email pedalanddrive@gmail.com. Donations and sponsorship can also be collected via Just Giving. We look forward to a great day of fundraising!
If you are able to support at our church on the day, please contact our church warden, Sarah Coward.
