Would you like to ride or stride to raise money for Bishopstone church? The Ride and Stride is an annual national sponsored event, organised locally by Wiltshire Historic Churches Trusts.
Wiltshire Ride & Stride (or its predecessor the Great Cycle Ride) has been going since 1984 and has raised over £1.7 million for the county’s churches. 50% of the money raised goes to the participant’s chosen church and the other half to the Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust.
Participants may be cyclists, walkers, horse-riders or drivers of mobility scooters. They can be of any age, but under-13s must be accompanied by an adult.
All denominations are welcome. Visit as many churches as you like, planning your
own route. Seek sponsorship from friends, relations and colleagues, so much per church visited or a lump sum.
Sign up at https://ridestride.org and follow the link to the Wiltshire page. Be sure to nominate Bishopstone Church to receive half the money you raise.
