Annual Ride + Stride day around Oxfordshire Churches – Saturday 9 September take part or sponsor a rider

Ride & Stride

Ride & Stride Saturday 9 September

As ever Ride+Stride is a wonderful way to enjoy getting out and about as well as raising much-needed funds to support grant applications from churches and chapels across the country.

Ride + Stride is the single largest source of income for many Historic Churches Trusts enabling them to make Grants to places of Christian worship. The funds raised can be split between the nominated Trust and the participants chosen church or chapel.

 

Heather and Liz in Milton are cycling for Ride and Stride on 9 September and are looking for sponsors. Liz is also fundraising on-line – use Liz Watts Ride and Stride for Milton Church to make your donation. Milton has benefited from a OHCT grant and receives 50% of the funds we raise.
